I've setup my 2 IMAP accounts in Gnus again with the agent enabled. So far, it works quite nicely and much more speedy than with the old nnimap. Good job, Lars! :-) Ok, now to my problem: On one of my IMAP accounts I deleted some folder that had no new mail in the last 3 years. I moved all the mails in that folder (~500) into my INBOX before. The problem now is that when entering my INBOX with C-u 100 RET, I do get the latest 100 mails according to article number (which are mails from 2007!), but what I really like to have is the latest 100 mails according to Date: header. I guess that's what anyone would expect. To get that result, I now have to do something like C-u 600 RET (100 latest articles plus the 500 old ones from the folder merge) and then restrict by recency. Also, C-u 100 RET should open a summary with exactly 100 articles although I may have deleted/moved 99 of the last articles according to article number... I know these are all fundamental issues with Gnus working with article numbers. But are there any chances to overcome that limitation, because the assumption of article numbers corresponding to recency simply doesn't hold for mail? Bye, Tassilo
