OK, I solved this myself. The default for the number of old messages to be displayed was set to 1000, which I thought should be enough, seeing as there are only 78 messages in the inbox. However, when I asked for all the messages Gnus thinks are in the inbox, namely over 6000, all the 78 messages were displayed. Which begs the question: When Gnus thinks it is displaying 1000 messages, but I only see 14, where are the other messages? Are they actually in other folders? (I should have said that I'm using IMAP). If the messages are in other folders, how can I get Gnus to count the messages in a more transparent manner? Loris -- no sig is good sig
