Emacs resident looking for advice when Gnus blocks while fetching news

[Garjola Dindi]

Hi,

I have been using Gnus for more than a decade now and I am still
learning useful things to improve my workflow.

Since I live in emacs, my use of Gnus is highly integrated with org-mode
(capture from Gnus, jump to messages from org-mode links, etc.)

One thing that bothers me is the fact that Gnus blocks my emacs when
fetching news, e-mails and RSS feeds (altough I use feed2imap for most
of my feeds).

I understand that some emacs users use 2 different emacs instances, one
for Gnus and another one for the rest. In my case, I am not sure that
that this would solve my issues cleanly because the integration
mentioned above: I may and having conflicts if the same file is open by
both instances.

I am sure I am not the only one in this situation and I am therefore
looking for advice on how to solve or at least enhance the situation.

Thanks in advance.
