I noticed there is a group parameter named "active" on an imap server
I'm using. The group is currently empy and the value is (active 90038
. 90037). However (gnus-group-delete-articles group t) reports 90037
messages to be deleted instead of 0. Is it a mistake with the imap
server or with the way gnus counts the messages ? Also, how is this
group parameter set ?

Julien.

It's the way Gnus counts the messages.

It's not a group parameter as such -- it's just stored there.  nnimap
updates it itself.

Thanks for the precision, I was investigating it for an issue that was
actually not related.
