First, it refused to display incoming mail, giving error messages of the form =C2=A0 Mail source [...] streamssl error (Memory exhausted -- use C-xs then =C2=A0 exit and restart Emacs) The advice was useless.=C2=A0 I tried pruning some bloated backup directories in ~/News & ~/Mail, but that did not help.=C2=A0 Then, several days later, it also refused to send mail ("too many bad auth attempts"). Using the Task Manager, I checked memory usage with & without Emacs running.=C2=A0 There was no change. Gnus still accesses newsgroups, but with very long delays both in bringing up a newsgroup and in bringing up entries.=C2=A0 Nevertheless, I posted a query on gnu.emacs.help, and received one reply, suggesting this mailing list. Signing in to Gnus has a bad effect, afterward, on Emacs as a whole. Its response to keystrokes was sporadically slowed, and commands that required access to many files (such as dired on a directory with many files) became extremely slow.=C2=A0 When I restarted Emacs, it behaved normally. I have managed to send & receive email by dealing directly with my supplier (AOL), but that is a nuisance.=C2=A0 I will be grateful for any advice on restoring Gnus to its proper working, or on finding someone who can be paid to help.
