But I find some inconveniences that I haven't found how to solve. This message is about the first of them. As much as I try to avoid it, I'm always typing `/ o' in my imap folders in Gnus. Moreover, when I check for new messages in my inbox, my Gnus talks to our imap server twice: one for `Esc g' and the other for `/ o'. And as my inbox is quite big, I feel I overload the server, and everything slows down. On the contrary, checking for new mail on Thunderbird without loosing old messages is just a click of a button. I'd be happy if I can always see old articles when visiting any folder, but I'll be satisfied if, at least, this could be accomplished with my inbox. As I'm lisp-impaired, I've tried all sorts of variations in my .gnus.el file that I've found in my Gnus manual reading and Google searches: ;;(setq gnus-summary-insert-old-articles 't) ;;(gnus-summary-insert-old-articles) ;;(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 5000) But none of them seems to help. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ferran
