This is the third time I've had this problem and I think I've figured out what happened: I probably hit C-w, which is a shortcut for gnus-group-kill-region. I tried to undo but it just said the buffer was read-only. By the time I thought of checking lossage, I'd already hit too many other keys so I couldn't confirm C-w is the culprit. I know how to get my inboxes to re-appear: I hit U and subscribe to them again. I've done this, but my sent-mail inbox just contains four seemingly randomly selected mails I sent. The other 1500 are gone. I dropped to the command line and went to my mail directory and grepped for the name of someone I've sent a dozen mails to, but the only hits I got were in my inbox. I opened my sent-mail file (I'm using nnfolder, one file per inbox) with 'less' and confirmed that the only contents were those four random surviving mails. The related files are similarly small:=20 -rw------- 1 coriordan coriordan 5985 Aug 29 19:19 Back2Gnus/sent-mail~ -rw------- 1 coriordan coriordan 6729 Sep 2 01:43 Back2Gnus/sent-mail -rw------- 1 coriordan coriordan 34 Jan 20 20:00 Back2Gnus/sent-mail.mrk -rw------- 1 coriordan coriordan 1315 Sep 2 01:57 Back2Gnus/sent-mail.nov One other problem is that after I resubscribed to my other inboxes, every mail is listed as unread. Anyone think there's any hope of getting all my sent-mails back? If anyone knows how to fix the "read" markings in my other inboxes, that would be nice, but I can do all that manually if necessary. My .gnus (below) is quite plain.
