nnimap: article list is not correct.

nnimap: article list is not correct.

Hello

I have connected gnus to my gmail account via nnimap. (No agent involved)

My INBOX was large (5042 messages) and I reduced it drastically using
thunderbird (since this is faster).

Now the INBOX contains 115 messages.

However when I try to enter the INBOX (group) gnus keeps telling me that
it contains 5042 and offers me to show 200, when I do this, I only see
19 messages (read). When I demand to see 5042 he shows me the 115
messages which are actually in that INBOX.

It seems that some index needs to be actualised but how? 
I tried gnus-expunge-group, without success.

Any help is appreciated.

I have found that typing M-g on the group line in the group buffer
sometimes helps.

Thanks! I killed the group and then re-subscribed and that helped as
well.

Ah, yes.  With M-g on the group it does a full update of the marks the
same way the old nnimap backend does ("UID FETCH FLAGS 1:*", I think),
but with a 'g' in the group buffer it uses QRESYNC together with the
information cached in .newsrc.eld.

Using QRESYNC failed on some servers in the early days of the rewritten
nnimap.

Using dovecot, I haven't seen any issues since the new nnimap was new
and still work in progress (August to November 2010, according to the
git log, 1b47313d04b1f29cc08ba329375cbb7aba0a6c33 seems to be the
earliest change).

Well, if it crops up again, try M-g.

What IMAP server is this?

ok

Gmail, for which unfortunately offlineimap and dovecot did not work well
(while they worked nicely with other, real imap servers)
