Is this a bug? | | Answer: | | No, that's a matter of design of Gnus, fixing this would mean | reimplementation of major parts of Gnus' back ends. Gnus thinks | "highest-article-number - lowest-article-number = | total-number-of-articles". This works OK for Usenet groups, but if you | delete and move many messages in mail groups, this fails. To cure the | symptom, enter the group via `C-u RET' (this makes Gnus get all | messages), then hit `M P b' to mark all messages and then say `B m | name.of.group' to move all messages to the group they have been in | before, they get new message numbers in this process and the count is | right again (until you delete and move your mail to other groups | again). `---- Alternatively you can run: `M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases RET': ,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Spool") ] | If your `nnml' groups and NOV files get totally out of whack, you | can do a complete update by typing `M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases'. | This command will trawl through the entire `nnml' hierarchy, looking at | each and every article, so it might take a while to complete. A better | interface to this functionality can be found in the server buffer | (*note Server Commands::). `---- HTH, Rudiger
