I am in a mailbox that displays 86 messages put has 9060 messages. I
want to fetch them all. So I enter:
/ o
But it fetches nothing. I get in *Messages*:
Opening nnimap server on e-mail...
Opening connection to munus.decebal.nl via tls...
Opening TLS connection to `munus.decebal.nl'...
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --x509cafile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt -p 993 munus.decebal.nl'...failed
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --strict-tofu -p 993 munus.decebal.nl'...done
Opening TLS connection to `munus.decebal.nl'...done
Opening connection to munus.decebal.nl...done
Opening nnimap server on e-mail...done
nnimap read 0k from munus.decebal.nl
It is very strange, because it always worked. I even tried to reboot
my system, but I still cannot load my old messages. What could be the
problem?
It is a bit of a problem, because I need to read an old email, but now
I cannot.

This is just a guess, but looking at the docs for / o (below) it seems
like you need a non-numerical prefix argument. This worked correctly for
me with C-u / o. (Keep in mind that I could be way off here, but worth
a try.)
"/ o runs the command gnus-summary-insert-old-articles (found in
gnus-summary-mode-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function
in ‘gnus-sum.el’.
It is bound to / o, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <See old articles>.
(gnus-summary-insert-old-articles &optional ALL)
Insert all old articles in this group.
If ALL is non-nil, already read articles become readable.
If ALL is a number, fetch this number of articles."

The strange think it always worked, but it just stopped working.
The C-u does not work for me, but just entering a number and then giving enter instead of immediately does work. A bit strange, because it does not work always. For example: sometimes it works when I enter 3500, but sometimes it does not. Until 3400 it almost always works. And that is in almost all cases a lot more as I need.
So I found a way around it, but I find it a bit strange.
