I'm using Gnus 5.4.52 and the nnml backend for my mail. Is there a way to get nnml to renumber the articles in a folder? For example, the highest article number in my mail.other folder is 507, but there aren't that many messages in the folder because I deleted several mails. Now every time I enter the folder, Gnus asks me how many messages it should display, because it assumes there are 507 messages in there. I could of course turn off that request, but is there a better way? Is this related to the fact that I delete mails using B DEL? Should I use the expiry mechanism to get rid of unwanted mail? Would that be the "proper" way, or is there no such thing?
