Problem with 'gnus-group-get-new-news'

Problem with 'gnus-group-get-new-news'

[Jake Colman]

Gnus version: No Gnus v0.7
Xemacs version: 21.4.17

In brief: Using 'gnus-group-get-new-news' in a running gnus session my
news does not updated.  If I exit gnus and restart it all my groups are
updated as expected.

My configuration is as follows:

(setq gnus-select-method 
      '(nntp "free.teranews.com")
      )

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods 
      '(
        (nnimap "exchange-d01"
                (nnimap-address "exchange-d01.ppllc.com")
                (nnimap-stream ssl)
                (nnimap-authenticator login)
                (nnimap-list-pattern "*")
                (nnimap-expunge-on-close always)
                )
        (nnslashdot "")
        (nntp "news.gmane.org")
        ))

Shouldn't presing 'g' at the Gnus main screen refresh all my newsgroups
in a manner identical to a fresh start of Gnus?

Thanks.

...Jake

Yes, but there's a subscription level per group and per topic that
matters.

Does `M-g' on a group refresh it properly?  If so, check the level with
`S l'.  Usually 3 and higher are "subscribed" and always checked.
Again, make sure you check the parent topics' subscription level, if
you have any such topics.

If `M-g' on a group does not work, something is misconfigured or buggy,
but it doesn't sound like that's the case.
