In my primary mailbox (nnml), I have thousands of mail messages.
starting yesterday, only mails from 2 years ago are visible, eventhough
all newer mail is present on disk.
1. I tried regenarating the .overview, to no effect
2. I moved the visible mail to a sub mailbox. now gnus claims that I still
have 4363 messages is my main mailbox, but when I try to enter it, it
says "Can't select group". there are close to 7600 messages in that
mailbox on disk.
I swear I haven't changed anything in my setup. Can anyone help me
figure out the problem?
Cheers,

PS: please answer on list (since my primary mailbox is not cooperating)

I found what was causing the problem: for some reason, the unexist range
associated with the mailbox had been set to a range way beyond the
actual range (like 30000 beyond). After killing that range, I was able
to see my mail again, but I seem to have lost some information about
e.g. read articles.
What could possibly have caused the unexist range to be so strangely
corrupted?

the unexist range is corrupted again (unexist (21081 . 72688)) when the
largest index on disk in that folder is 40558. This is driving me nuts!
