That brings me a step further, thanks. But it's still not working. I
marked two or three groups and searched for some common strings that are
included in more than one Mail in those groups. But the result is
always:
`Couldn't request groups. Search produced empty results.'
This message turns up immediately. Gnus cannot have searched through
anything. Do I first have to prepare an index as in a mairix query or
something? I didn't read about that. And I have no idea how to do that
with messages stored on a remote IMAP server.
By the way, Tassilo, querying a group under the point without marking it
doesn't work for me. That produces the error of my initial posting.
Greetings
Sven
