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?
