I guess there's none except regular respooling all articles. This is probably one of Gnus' weakest points. -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Make that thousands plus one. Hee, wait a minute... my .gnus actually contains the code to do this: ;;;------------------------------------------------------------------- ;;; Renumbering. ;;;------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; The idea is as follows. From the group buffer, enter a mail group ;; (C-u <ret>). Select all articles (M P b) and move the articles to ;; a not yet existing temporary mail group (B m). Now, exit the group ;; and kill it (C-k) in the group buffer. Exit gnus (q). Manually ;; kill the file(s) of the group and remove its line from the active ;; file. Restart Gnus. Enter the temporary group (C-u <ret>), select ;; all (M P b) and move all (B m) to the original group which is then ;; created anew. Now, exit the temporary group (q) and kill it (C-k), ;; subscribe to the original group (F) and exit gnus (q). Delete the ;; file(s) of the temporary group and remove its line from the active ;; file. Voila the group is renumbered.

The problem only appears if the server generates holes in the UID range. (For IMAP, that is.) Pressing M-g should update the unread article count to be the correct number, as well. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Is it Just Too Hard? Someone said something about re-spooling to fix the number. Even though this is would be only a partial solution, it might be worth trying for me, just to get rid of the annoying message about me having too many messages. Can I do it without the effort of killing and reincarnating my INBOX? ie, is there a single-command/button solution? Thanks! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
