I have a weird problem in gnus: only some of my new emails show up, and
every once in a while (every day or so, upon restarting), gnus shows me
"new" old messages from months ago. Perhaps the latter problem is
related to the fact that I used gnus for a while, stopped using it, and
am now returning to it.
Gnus seems to notice most new mails (about 80%), but that's not good at
all in the greater scheme of things. The IMAP server is on a Linux box
running courier (Dreamhost). Also, I use mutt and Thunderbird as well. I
am using emacs-snapshot-gtk 23.0.0.1, with gnus 0.6.
Anyway, here's my .gnus, if it helps:
(load-library "message")
(setq mail-sources
'(imap
:server "mail.server.com"
:user "me"
:password "password"))

gnus-tmp-qualified-group))

gnus-tmp-qualified-group)))))

Anything look obviously wrong here?
