When gnus asks for how many articles from this group I want, I just answer 10000 (yes ten thousand). So now wait for the summary buffer to appear. Once it's done, you can play with the limiting article commands for example (like / s to limit to articles with a particular subject). And normally you can notice that gnus is almost unusable. This is with threaded view: (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-most- recent-date)) This is with Gnus v5.13 on a quad core with 2 Go... Thanks
