I don't think so - in that its not a "bug" that it doesn't poll IMAP. It seems to me that dovecot drops the connection through lack of activity. I add this to my .gnus.el and all is now good. (require 'gnus-demon) (setq gnus-use-demon t) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-get-new-news 10 0) (gnus-demon-init) Nicer would be for gnus to simply redo the TLS if it can't connect when entering or leaving a group ... that way no need for relatively expensive automatic polling.
