nnmairix problems… or something

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I've been fighting for quite some time with a persistent nnmairix search
group that won't behave properly. It's supposed to collect all (or most)
messages received in the past four days. I've got two general problems
with it:

1. It only sometimes updates. I can do "G b u" to update the mairix
database, then "M-g" on the mairix group, get something like "Matched
214 messages", but the message count on the group itself remains 20
(just today's example), and the group only contains 20 messages. There's
no way to get the 214 messages. Sometimes the message count in the
*Group* buffer matches what's in the group, sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes repeated "M-g"s work to clear the problem, sometimes they
don't.

2. There's no way to get it to leave messages unread. I've gone through
all three values of `nnmairix-group-toggle-readmarks-this-group', and
the result is always the same: read messages disappear the next time I
enter the group, and I can only get the full list by hitting "/ o".

Do nnmairix groups behave differently than other groups? Is there any
way I can get the unread behavior I want, at least?

Thanks!
