Subject: Fetch range of older articles from nnimap?
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2020 14:11:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <867dvkbxxx.fsf@famsolberg.com> (raw)

Hello,

I need to fetch a range of old articles from an IMAP server, to do some
cleanup.  Providing an argument to e.g. gnus-group-select-group enables
me to fetch the N latest articles. But this becomes impractical when N
grows beyond tens of thousands of articles.  Is there currently a way to
rather specify a range to be fetched, e.g. "articles 1 - 100", "articles
101 - 200" and so on?

Thanks,

Bjorn
