Subject: Crazy imap unread counts
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 21:21:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2ipr4fie3.fsf@boostpro.com> (raw)
When I hit `g' in *Group*, my INBOX shows 187 unread messages there.
However, when I try to enter INBOX, Gnus says:
How many articles from INBOX (available 218124, default 5000):
and even the default of 5000 is insufficient to show me any messages.
(I've taken to entering 99999...)
Now if I enter the group and hit `M-g', the *Group* buffer says 214833
next to INBOX.
Now if I exit INBOX the *Group* buffer says 86 next to INBOX.
There are so many problems that It's hard to know where to begin with
this...
To try to get a handle on the most annoying issue (unread counts in the
two-hundred-thousands), I started looking where article numbers are
persisted: in .newsrc.eld. Below is the part of my gnus-newsrc-alist
that refers to INBOX. As you can see, there's a range of article
numbers
(35583 . 250593)
and (gnus-active "INBOX") is
(32470 . 250593)
I'm not sure if these numbers even reflect anything that's on the
server. The problem *may* just be that the information is corrupt and
it keeps getting persisted. But this is an IMAP server, which stores
marks. So is there a way to regenerate this information from the server?
Thanks
