Hi Gnuers,
a while ago I learned that the fast (right? optimal?) way to update my
imap inbox is with gnus-summary-insert-new-articles (bound to `/ N').
However, I've noticed that gnus-summary-pop-limit (`/ w') reverts the
situation. This is strange, moreover when I do some *real* limiting (by
subject or author) and then, when I pop those limits Gnus happily goes
back to the situation when I first updated my inbox with `/ N', maybe a
few hours ago.
Perhaps I'm not using the right command to update my inbox? Which
should I use? Or, why is gnus-summary-insert-new-articles considered a
limiting (instead of an updating) command, other than they appear in the
same page [1] of the manual?
Thanks,
Ferran

I use gnus-summary-rescan-group (bound to "M-g" in the summary buffer)
M-g runs the command gnus-summary-rescan-group
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
It is bound to M-g, Z G, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Exit> <Rescan group>.
(gnus-summary-rescan-group &optional ALL)
Exit the newsgroup, ask for new articles, and select the newsgroup.

So it's how a limiting command is supposed to behave, isn't it?

`/ N' is supposed to be faster than `M-g'.

I don't know why it was implemented like this. Does anyone recall?
