Hi !
I have just imported a bunch of old mails in my inbox by spooling them
through an mbox. Everything is fine except that these mails are
numbered after the new ones. Is there a simple way of renumbering all
the mails by ascending dates ?

Use C-u RET to enter the group.
Use C-c C-s C-d to sort by date. (Might take a while.)
Use M P a to mark them all.
Use B m to move them into the same group.

I have added "T T" here.

Well, this doesn't work. After sorting by date everything seems fine
(it is really sorted by date) but after the manipulation, the 100 last
articles are not the latest one. There are recent articles and oldest
ones.

Maybe you have to go to the first message and do `9 9 9 B m' to move
them into the same group. If you have more than 999 messages,
increase the number accordingly.
`M P a' might mark them in the wrong order.

Linux provides a nice `poweroff' command, but where is `poweron'?
