The problem is that the mairix installation may be on a remote IMAP server where mairix is called via ssh (that's what I do), so Gnus doesn't have access to the .mairixrc-file. But I will use the directory in the server definition of the mail backend, as suggested by Georg. >I can browse the group nnmairix:default correctly, but there is still >something weird with the fisrt displayed number of messages: it's sth >like 45345 when it should be 143 (or so.) I guess it's related to the mh >backend. The problem is that mairix often doesn't produce consecutive article numbers in the output folder when using mh. Since Gnus takes the difference between the highest and lowest article number as the first value for the numbers of articles, it is often way too high. When Gnus actually enters the group, it should correct the number. I don't see how to I could fix this problem in nnmairix.el (at least I'd say it's much easier to fix this in mairix itself).
