certain mail group needs "C-u RET" to show new unread mail

certain mail group needs "C-u RET" to show new unread mail

Hi,

I have a certain IMAP folder where I always have to do something like
C-u RET 338 RET (a lower number seems to not work, though it changes
some times), in order to show new emails. Otherwise, it just shows old
ticked ones. When I'm just in *Group*, it always seems there are no
emails in that folder. I doing C-k on the group and deleting any files
with the group name in ~/{News,Mail}, but it didn't help. Anyone have a
clue what to do? Also, the max number shown after C-u RET is always
2284, has been for as long as I can remember.

I'm using gnus v5.13, emacs 24.2.1, dovecot 2.1.10, offlineimap 6.5.4.
When opening the IMAP folder directly with K-9 mail on Android or the
web interface (fastmail), there doesn't seem to be a problem.

Sounds like your nnimap groups aren't updating.  Does `M-g' on the group
do anything useful?

From *Group*, it changed from no unread to 332 unread. Entering the
group with plain RET it asked me how many to fetch, 364 by default, then
showed me 3 unread (plus some ticked's). Exiting the group, *Group*
shows 3 unread, and does so whenever I enter/exit the group now. (I can
get it back to 332 by doing M-g again, then on RET I get asked about 364
and am shown 3 unread.)

I just tried M-g on all my other (10 or so) nnimap groups, all on the
same dovecot server, all from the same fastmail account, no change. It's
only the one group.

I guess I can advise `g' to do `M-g' on the misbehaving group …

After reading those three, the two other numbers decreased to 329 and
361, respectively. `C-u RET' still shows 2284 as max (while answering
with 999999 RET gives me a buffer with 1725 lines). Very strange.

Could it be an Agent issue?  Is the group covered by the Agent?  If so,
try deleting the Agent data and see whether that helps...

I have had (setq gnus-agent nil) for some time now – could there still
be left-over agent stuff lingering around from when it was t? (I see
gnus-agent-article-alist is also nil.)

Setting `gnus-agent' to nil should disable all Agent stuff, but it's
possible that there's a bug in that area.  Try moving the ~/News/agent
directory out of the way, if you have that directory and restart.

What's the output of `G E' on the group?

I've been rather slow in responding, so this page is now empty.

So this says that the highest article number on the IMAP server is 2337,
and you have all articles except 2328 marked as read.  Is article 2337
(for instance) actually unread?

    j 2337 RET

gives

    No such article (may have expired or been canceled)

The highest article number actually seems to be 2338 (article 2338 does
exist).

So that's OK, then.

Does Gnus say that the highest `active' number is still 2337?

I guess my question is: What is this unread mail that `C-u RET' reveals?

Perhaps I changed something in G E because now the bug seems to be gone.
I'll post more if it returns … thanks anyway :-)
