again, wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p

[Uli Wortmann]

Hi there,

this seems to be an infamous error message, and I followed all the
advice given in the eralier postings, but to no avail.

I get the following error message when trying to access my imap
account (which is an nnimap group)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p
  lecture) gnus-set-sorted-intersection((6 344 395 402 403 404 405 407
  408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416) (lecture lecture lecture
  lecture lecture Re: METROL Re: Re: Position Re: Re: Re: Visit
  Mitteilungen Servus))
  gnus-select-newsgroup("nnimap+n.ethz.ch:Mail/nnimap.new" nil nil)
  gnus-summary-read-group-1("nnimap+n.ethz.ch:Mail/nnimap.new" nil nil
  nil nil nil)
  gnus-summary-read-group("nnimap+n.ethz.ch:Mail/nnimap.new" nil nil
  nil nil nil nil) gnus-group-read-group(nil)
  gnus-mouse-pick-group((mouse-2 (#<window 3 on *Group*> 436 (303
  . 190) 14872854))) call-interactively(gnus-mouse-pick-group)

Deleting the cache file won't help.

Any input is appreciated

        Uli

Can you search your Gnus files for the string "lecture lecture"?

Maybe ~/.newsrc.eld.

Hi Kai, Hi Simon,

In response to Kai:
I searched the .news files for the string "lecture", but was not able
to find it.

In Response to Simon:
I did delete the overview file, but it didn't help.

I solved the problem, by renaming the group, exiting gnus, starting,
exiting again, and renaming the folder to it's original name. After
that exercise, everything worked as expected. I guess the problem was
indeed with one of the configuration files, but it was not the
overview, or cache file.

        Cheers

                Uli
