I decided to teach Gnus how to handle sequence sets in active info. There's a lot of work, but it lets all backends to work without any changes (if they don't want to pass sequence set instead of old single sequence, of course). Basically, it works (somehow) now, but there are a lot of bugs. > Sounds good to me.

Well, it must be fixed anyway.I have switched to Zimbra imap server recently, and Gnus shows me hundreds of thousands of unread articles in groups, and it works very slowly and consumes tons of memory. -- wbr, Vitaly
