I have all my e-mails on an IMAP server, I think it's a UW-something. I
use the agent to keep my laptop synced with it, since I cannot access
the IMAP-server from home. I have around 30 groups on that server, with
anything from 2-3 to 1000 e-mails in them.
Once in a while I need to access some old email, so I do not want the
agent to expire any e-mails at all, but keep the server and laptop
_completely_ synced.
That has, more or less, been the case for a couple of months. I say
more or less, because there has been some slight differences, mostly due
to the agent not fetching too big messages, I think.
But today I wanted to finetune the agent details, so I added all the
groups to the default category, set the category predicate to `true'
instead of `short', and some other small things.
Then I used the gnus-agent-expire command. I did it because of some
e-mails still being in the agent while deleted on the server, so I
(might have :-)) thought that that would take care of it.
Anyway, that deleted (of course) all e-mails in the agent older than one
week.
So, naturally I wanted to import all old e-mail into the agent again.
The strange thing is, I cannot access _any_ of the old e-mails anytime.
When I C-u <RET> on one of the groups and enters, expecting to find all
750 (or so) e-mails, I only find one week worth of e-mail. Pluggedness
or non-pluggedness, all the same.
The only way to actually see those messages is to remove the agent on
the server and enter the group. But then again, I won't be able to load
it into the agent, do I? :-)
I have otherwise taken all measures to keep the e-mails in the
agent-cache. Relevant portion of .gnus-el:
;;;; Agent
(setq agent-disable-undownloaded-faces t)
(setq gnus-agent-consider-all-articles t)
(setq gnus-agent-synchronize-flags t)
(setq gnus-agent-cache t)
(add-hook 'gnus-select-article-hook 'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article)
;; (setq gnus-agent-handle-level 3)

Perhaps gnus-agent-regenerate is a better choice?

That's bad. Pressing M-g on the group before C-u RET does not help?
Anyway, stop Gnus, take a backup of ~/News/agent/ and rm -rf it and
start Gnus again. Now C-u should work. Then try to reproduce the
problem and send the details in a bug report.

Probably. But, I won't need that now, do I :-)

No, I tried that, and I tried restarting gnus as well, but it didn't
help.

Well, it's monday, but due to, well, things, I am not at work today, so
I'll do that tomorrow.
Wow. Six commas.

Did you do it on that Tuesday, and what happened when you did?

(Resending this, since it seems the first try didn't get through.)

use the agent to keep my laptop synced with it, since I cannot access
the IMAP-server from home. I have around 30 groups on that server, with
anything from 2-3 to 1000 e-mails in them.
