I can see them from Outlook or from another Edi> Gnus running on another machine. I read mail via IMAP towards an Windows Exchange server here at work. Mail arrive in "INBOX" and I have gnus retrieve mail from "INBOX" and split them out into a bunch of other folders where I do the reading. When I occasionally fire up outlook, it will go to my "INBOX" and display its contents. It furthermore reads the first message. I have noticed that if outlook has marked a message as read, gnus will not handle it anymore, at least in the sense that further splitting of the "INBOX" will leave behind those messages that Outlook has touched. The idea here is that it could be that "foreign" mailreaders does stuff to the messages that makes them disappear to gnus. I am unsure whether reverting (through Outlook) the read state of such mails will make it reappear in front of gnus. I also think (but can't really remember) that if I ask gnus to go to the "INBOX" folder all such messages do in fact appear to gnus, indicating that the behaviour described is not really what you ae experiencing. One approach would to identify some of the missing messages and bash them around a bit (copy to a new folder, change state etc) with some of the other readers to see if that will make any difference to gnus. ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | christian #\@ defun #\. dk ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - petonic@hal.com (Michael A.
