Tested. Perfect!  Thanks a lot...

nnimap.

For nntp, I let Org link to the Gmane groups anyway (so, calling Firefox when
clicking on such hyperlinks).

I don't have the *impression* that it has to do with the fact that the message
is old or new.

Tested links to mails belonging to two different groups:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    nnimap+me:INBOX.abc                               0 Unread/  1963 Items
    nnimap+me:INBOX.work                             25 Unread/ 28611 Items
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Both mails are from today.

Clicking on the first hyperlink (mail from ABC), I get it in front of me in a
couple of seconds (did not really measured, but acceptable anyway).

Though, for the mail belonging to my `work' group, it took 5 min 21 seconds...
(IMAP Courier server on Debian, local network, 100 Mbps, so the bandwidth
should not be an issue).

What do you think of this?

gnus-nov-is-evil's value is nil.

Maybe turning back up `gnus-use-cache', then?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
