Aha thanks that worked for one single group, reading the documentation, https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Basic-Usage.html «Calling for an nnir search with the cursor on a topic heading will search all the groups under that heading. » I thought, for topic configuration like this [ Imap_UCM_Gmail 65083 ] * 0: nnimap+UCMgmail:INBOX [ Mathematik 55 ] 0: nnimap+UCMgmail:Submitted [ Kollegen 55 ] 3: nnimap+UCMgmail:1-Helix Putting the cursor on [ Imap_UCM_Gmail 65083 ] and repeating the above procedure then would display all the unseen message in all subscribed groups. However, it did not. So: 1. If I want to do that interatively, what should I do? 2. What is the syntax for persistent search, which would generate me a group say UNSEEN, which displays all the unseen message in all subscribed imap groups? Thank you very much Uwe Brauer
