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
