Hello,
I am interested in using Gnus as a mail reader. I have tried
to setup a simple .gnus file that will retrieve my mail via POP3 and
sort it into various groups. My mail is retrieved (at least Gnus says
it is retrieved) but when I enter a group to read the new messages
something very weird happens. I do not see the new messages. Instead
messages that I have already seen and marked as read ('r') show up. If
I have retrieved five messages I will see three "new" messages in one
group and 2 "new" messages in another group. However in each case the
messages are ones I have already read and I can't find my new
messages.
I am using XEmacs 21.1.9 (I think. XEmacs 21.1.something at any rate.)
I am using Gnus 5.8.3.
My .gnus file is included below. I appreciate any help.
later,
joseph

Ideas:
* Maybe the `~' in the file name is a problem? Can you replace it
by the right value and see if that helps?
* Does the mail actually end up in the nnfolder file, or is it not
there at all? (Use something other than Gnus to look at your
nnfolder files.)
* Do you see the mails with C-u RET on the group?

Whee. This sounds like a Gnus bug.
But the file you enclosed didn't have two articles numbered 3, it had
messages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 -- five messages total.
Strange.
