I resolved this and the problem was in Gmail itself. In Settings/Forwarding and POP/IMAP there is an option to limit the number of messages in an IMAP folder. This had somehow been set to 10,000. That sounds like a lot but the Gmail/All Mail folder contains literally everything and 10,000 is less than a year's worth of email for me. Unfortunately when this is set, search behavior is inconsistent. Gmail itself will search beyond 10,000 emails and right back to the beginning of time. But when I search with nnir, the 10,000 limit is enforced and nnir cannot search beyond that limit because Gmail won't provide info on the older emails. So I removed the limit. The cost of this is going to be slower loading and searching when I'm on weaker internet connections. While this is not a specific gnus solution, it's something to be aware of. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i * Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux *
