different refresh intervals

I have many folders of different mailing lists, that are not as 
important as the INBOX and some other folders.
If I set the autorefresh option it takes forever every time to update 
all the folders, but maybe if I was able
to set up different refresh times it might be fast and still useful..

Any way to do something similar?

Re: different refresh intervals

Hi Andrea,

if your IMAP server supports it, try IDLE mode on INBOX folder. Then, anything
that goes there will be instantly downloaded.

In my setting, I have also some folders which I don't care much about quick
refresh, while still I like to have INBOX instantly present. I have the
following line in remote repository configuration section:

idlefolders = ['INBOX']

Cheers,
Tomek

Ah thanks, I enabled that now (on the GMail account), I'll try to
understand if it actually works..

Another thing which would be quite nice is to update automatically a
folder when I open the folder from GNUS.  Is it possible in general to
force the update of a single folder (than the GNUS setting should be
easy).

Sure, combine the -o (run once) and -f (filter folders from commandline)
option.
