[...] In Gnus, there are some codes to rebuild the nnfolder-article-marker. I am not sure when they are executed. Here are some comments. When you move all articles with marker from the group, the articles without marker tends to be at the end of the file (folder). Then the codes are executed. ,-------- | ;; As long as we trust that the user will only insert unmarked mail | ;; at the end, go to the end and search backwards for the last | ;; marker. Find the start of that message, and begin to search for | ;; unmarked messages from there. `-------- BTW, it seems to need some codes (nnoo-request-check-consistence) to automatically check and fix the consistence of back-ends, just like fsck does on file-systems. We often got problems like expiration problem (some expirable articles are never removed. similar problem in agent), consistence in cache, missing articles, bad overview or active files, unwanted directories. Any more? -- Shenghuo
