Subject: "Ghost count" on nnimap group after server move
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 17:15:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lel5zecb.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

I have transferred my imap server to a different server.

Same OS both places (debian 11.6) and same IMAP server (dovecot) with
config rsync'd over from the old server (Maildir folders).

I also rsynced over the Maildir from the old server at a point where
there probably was something going on on the new one.  Because I ended
up with a "duplicate something" error message and deleted a dovecot
.index file in the maildir (as suggested by a google search hit).

But right now the nnimap group in Gnus is showing a count of 5, with no
new articles.

I have tried "M-g" and "C" on the group without losing the count.

I have also tried killing the group, stopping gnus, starting gnus and
re-adding the nnimap group, but the "ghost count" was still there.

Where do I go to fixing the count in gnus?

Suggestions about manual tinkering in .newsrc.eld are acceptable (I just
have to know what to change and where).

I'm using the emacs-27 gnus and I'm using agent in the nnimap server.

Thanks!
