Subject: Active numbers greater than reality (nnml)
Date: 01 Dec 2000 00:22:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bsuwh7of.fsf@hahaha.org> (raw)

I'm running gnus 5.8.7, fsf emacs 20.7.2. I have most likely screwed up my
.newsrc.eld, cache and active files over the years.

Right now, if I do C-u RET with point on my inbox nnml group, I am asked if
I want to display the default of 26300 messages. Pressing RET gets me 7997
messages. The active file reports "inbox 29749 3450 y". There are a large
number of articles marked read and expirable in the group.

I don't know what I might have done, but my nnml inbox stopped expiring a
while ago. I've gone so far as to turn on Total Expire (via G c) for that
group, but the laxative has not worked. I'm wondering if the articles are
not expiring because the Active file is off? I've tried
nnml-generate-nov-databases.

Can you offer advice?

Thanks,

morgan
