Subject: 26.0.50; Suppressing unavailable imap server
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:37:10 +0200

I have configured an imap server which is reachable only sometimes (when
I have entered the company's lan). Connecting it via gnus takes always
~2 min, until there is a timeout, and the server is ignored
then("denied" in the *Server* buffer).

I would appreciate if there would be a way to set a status of
"unavailable" to a server. A simple check (a Lisp function provided by
me) shall be possible to deal with this when connecting. And/or there
shall be a simple configuration mean to configure the timeout until a
server is marked as unavailable; 2 minutes is much too long in my case.

Furthermore, this status shall be kept for the whole Emacs session. The
check is not necessary any more, once I have closed and reopened a Gnus
session. If needed, I would reopen the server from the *Server* buffer.
