Subject: problems with archive
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:57:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d3ig2qcf.fsf@yun.yagibdah.de> (raw)
Hi,
my attempt to have all outgoing messages archived by default have lead
to having all mail groups listed doubly in my group viev like:
1 : mail.lists.ding.gnus.org
* : nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.ding.gnus.org
Trying to enter the nnfolder gives the error message:
,----
| gnus-select-newsgroup: Couldn't activate group
| nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.ding.gnus.org: Empty group:
| mail.lists.ding.gnus.org
`----
When I go into the server view, there appears to be for every mail group
I have another server entry:
,----
| {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
| {nndoc:gnus-help} (opened)
| {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.mutt-users} (opened)
| {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.courier-users} (opened)
| {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.exim-users} (opened)
| {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.debian-isp} (opened)
| {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.debian-enterprise} (opened)
| {nnfolder:archive+nnfolder+archive:mail.lists.courier-imap} (opened)
| [...]
`----
These entries have been created automatically. This seems to be badly
messed up now. How can I fix this?
When killing the {nnfolder:archive} server entry, I´m asked if I want to
kill all it´s groups along with it. I did that two times or so now and
found that after answering yes, all my all email was gone. I had to edit
the active file to be able to access it again. I take it I was lucky
that the emails weren´t actually deleted, and now I´m worried that they
eventually might be expired. Is there a way to automatically regenerate
the active file?
Searching for expire marks finds:
,----
| lee@yun:~/Mail$ find . -name .marks |xargs grep -i expire
| ./mail/0-incoming/.marks:((expire 3 5 15 17 (24 . 25) 28) (read (1 . 42) (44 . 129) (131 . 133) 137 (139 . 147) (149 . 307) (309 . 331)))
| lee@yun:~/Mail$
`----
Is there any other place where expiry information is kept?
What about the "read" marks? Is it normal for them to include articles
that don´t exist anymore? If not, could I just remove all ".marks"
files? ATM, losing the marks won´t hurt.
