I got a folder with 2345 messages in it: brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ ls cur | wc -l 2345 brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ But gnus is reporting about 5000 unread messages each time i updates and it says that there are about 7000 messages at total. But looking arund in the folder I found the following: brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ ls .nnmaildir/num/ | wc -l 7171 brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ 7171 hardlinks to the same empty file with no information in the filname I can find any use of brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ ls -l .nnmaildir/num/ | head total 0 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 10 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 100 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1000 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1001 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1002 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1003 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1004 -rw-r--r-- 7171 brother users 0 Oct 26 12:57 1005 brother@mac:~/Mail/nnmaildir/linux.kernel$ All the other directories in .nnmaildir seems to have the same number of files as the number of articles. Is there a known fix for this problem? -- Peter Makholm | I congratulate you.
