What version of emacs and gnus are you using?  The problems I've
heard/seen could be due to several factors, not the least of which
could that the version of emacs/Gnus here might be older and have
trouble dealing with an SSL connection.  The config you sent in the
previous post is very similar to what I ended up with when I
was mucking around with gnus an imap.

I think there was some .newsrc-dribble and/or .newsrc.eld corruption
involved.  So it might not have been gnu's fault directly.  Since it
wasn't me having the problem, I don't remember the details all that
clearly.

I also vaguely remember someone mentioning that "we need to use a
different ssl program" for the value ssl-program-name.  I don't know
what was wrong with the standard openssl, or what we were supposed to
use.  It could be that was part of the problems.
