Old Gnus messages are not fetched

Old Gnus messages are not fetched

[Cecil Westerhof]

It looks like gnu.emacs.gnus is of-line: I send this message several
times to that newsgroup, but it was never received. So I try this
newsgroup.


I am in a mailbox that displays 86 messages put has 9060 messages. I
want to fetch them all. So I enter:
    / o

But it fetches nothing. I get in *Messages*:
Opening nnimap server on e-mail...
Opening connection to munus.decebal.nl via tls...
Opening TLS connection to `munus.decebal.nl'...
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --x509cafile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt -p 993 munus.decebal.nl'...failed
Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --strict-tofu -p 993 munus.decebal.nl'...done
Opening TLS connection to `munus.decebal.nl'...done
Opening connection to munus.decebal.nl...done
Opening nnimap server on e-mail...done
nnimap read 0k from munus.decebal.nl


It is very strange, because it always worked. I even tried to reboot
my system, but I still cannot load my old messages. What could be the
problem?

It is a bit of a problem, because I need to read an old email, but now
I cannot.

You could try emacs.gnus.general (available on gwene as
gmane.emacs.gnus.general at the very least).

I find that gnus does get confused every now and again (and not in any
reproducible fashion unfortunately).  Sometimes doing M-g on the group
at the group buffer and/or within the summary buffer can help things
out.
