I've now investigated this a little bit more and finally came to the conclusion that Gnus agent was the problem. One of the offending IMAP folders was called INBOX.lists.lispworks and after deleting all files in the local ~/News/agent/nnimap/mail-imap/INBOX/lists/lispworks folder and restarting Emacs/Gnus I could finally see the whole IMAP folder again. Is there a better way to `re-sync' Gnus with the IMAP server without getting rid of all the articles cached? I though that `gnus-agent-regenerate-group' would do it but obviously it doesn't. Any why did this happen at all? (It's not the only IMAP folder that had problems.) Now, this reminds me of other problems I had with Gnus agent and IMAP but they were the other way around: After deleting IMAP articles with another client (like SquirrelMail or Outlook) they were still shown by Gnus and I had to manually delete the corresponding lines from the `.overview' file. FWIW, here are the settings related to Gnus agent from my .gnus file: (setq gnus-agent-cache t gnus-agent-consider-all-articles t gnus-agent-enable-expiration 'DISABLE gnus-select-article-hook 'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article) I freely admit that for some for them I don't know exactly what they're for - I've probaly copied them monkey-see-monkey-do from other Usenet articles. Thanks, Edi. -- Lisp is not dead, it just smells funny. Real email: (replace (subseq "spamtrap@agharta.de" 5) "edi")
