Group buffer not updated for mail groups

Group buffer not updated for mail groups

[Dmitry Yaitskov]

Hi,

Some days ago I wrote about a problem I was having - after a 'g' in
the group buffer, some mail groups did not have their new messages
counters updated, and those counters were updated only after another
'g'. Here's some more info: I have three pop accounts. Seems like this
happens not for specific mail groups, rather for mail fetched from
all accounts after the first one. So, if I have:

(setq nnmail-spool-file
	  '((pop :server "mail.1.com"
			 :user "me"
			 :port "pop3"
			 :password "secret1")
		(pop :server "mail.2.com"
			 :user "me-too"
			 :port "pop3"
			 :password "secret2")
		(pop :server "mail.3.com"
			 :user "still-me"
			 :port "pop3"
			 :password "secret3")))

then mail fetched from mail.1.com would show immediately, whereas mail 
fetched from mail.2.com & mail.3.com would show up in the Group buffer 
only after another check for new news/mail. Does it make any sense?

Correction. Seems like only mail received from the *last* server does
not make it to the Group buffer immediately.

I've got a related problem.  My mail groups are at level 1, and the
other groups are at level 3.  "C-u 2 g" used to read in just the new
email messages, but now it doesn't seem to.  Some messages flicker by
on the status line, but nothing else happens, even though there are
new messages.

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.80.

Mail left in .emacs-mail-crash-box - still in v0.80

[Dmitry Yaitskov]

The bug is still there in Gnus v0.80 - mail fetched from the last pop
server in nnmail-spool-file list is left in .emacs-mail-crash-box
instead of being delivered to groups.

Hm.  Anyone have a fix for this?
