Dear Tassilo,
thanks a lot.
I minimalized "gnus-secondary-select-methods" as you suggested. I also adjusted
authinfo and put (org-contacts-gnus-insinuate) in .emacs.
The connection to mail.uni.edu at startup works quite fast (about 1s), but the
I get asked "Buffer has a running process; kill it?" If I choose yes, then
"imap: Connecting to imap.googlemail.com..." appears (again, for as long as I
don't abort it with C-g). I also very briefly see "error in process filter:
Internal error, tag 4 status BAD code nil text Command received in Invalid
state."

Also, the (org-contacts-gnus-insinuate) statement did not change anything
concerning the completion (I am in the "To" line and type "Us" + TAB. I expect
to get "User", but nothing happens), but that's certainly not the major problem
at the moment.
Please let me know if you need more details.
Cheers,
Marius
