nnimap (gmail) messages missing

Hello 


This is a little bizarre. I am using the nnimap backend to connect 
to my 

gmail account. 


The INBOX contains 3045 message. 



Now when I enter the group either via 
 RET or via C-u RET 
 I am asked about the numbers of message (default is 200). If I 
specify 
 1000, then the first 500 (in chronological order) and the last 500 
(in 

chronological order) but not the last 1000 (in chronological 
order). 


Of course when I specify 3045, then all messages are shown, but 
this is 

not what I want. 


 BTW would it be possible to specify before entering, that only 
 message 
s
 are displayed, which are newer than a specific date? 


thanks

That's pretty bizarre, yes.  Perhaps Gmail sorts them that way?

No, IMAP doesn't support that.
