ok, but this is a bit unpleasant when a folder (like my inbox) has 3
messages, with numbers, say, 3, 45, 1422...
it also makes completely useless the question "how many articles" when
i use insert old articles: i say 1, it adds 0 messages: i should say,
in the example, about 1400.
can i periodically tell gnus to restart from zero, or i must, in the
example above, delete messages 3 and 45 to have a better guess of
message numbers?

Gnus v5.10.6 - debian testing.

i can *never* read inbox, with gnus: i'm using mutt for inbox, and
gnus for all the rest!

isn't there a rebuild everything, or the like?
