Lost mails found! Sorry for that.
I forgot I had this in my .emacs:
(setq mail-archive-file-name "~/RSENT")
It doesn't show up when I hit 'U' but I can add it as a file (I don't
remember the command right but I had to do this last time I had the same
problem and I remember it's not difficult).
So now my only problem is that I've thousands of mails listed as unread. If
there's a solution, I'd be happy to hear it, but it's not a huge problem.
While I'm here, can I suggest that gnus-group-kill-region not have a
binding? Hitting C-w by accident is really easy and it leaves the user with
no mailboxes and no idea what happened or what to do. I abandonned Gnus the
first two times it happened me (but I came back after a few months of trying
rmail). I'd go as far as to say the command should be disabled by default
(I've done that now in my .gnus), but if not, then at least consider
removing the keybinding.
