gnus does not see correctly the mails

gnus does not see correctly the mails

[Dominic Mitchell]

Hi, 

I am currently using gnus 5.8.8 with emacs-20.7.  I have used this
combination for quite sometime flawlessly.  Now I have a problem
with Gnus.  

I am using nnfolders.  I have my incoming mail in
~/email/incoming/.  Gnus reads the folders in this directory and
puts them in  ~/email/fMail/.  What I am seeing is that gnus does
not see all messages that are in some folders.  What is even
worst, I get to see more often is that gnus displays a subject in
the summary buffer that does not match what gnus displays as the
corresponding mail:

For example I would:

   [  25 Dan Poirier         ] Noticing new folders using nnimap

Then trying to view Dan message I would read a mail from Kai :)

This only occurs with nnfolders.  It does not happen in
newsgroup.  

This is very annoying especially when you see a subject/adress
that you want to read and you can't because another messages is
displayed. 

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Dominic.

Yes.  However, running locate for .nov or .over did not return any
single file.  I am running gnus 5.8.8.  

Thanks.
