[gnus] only two messages are visible in the Summary

[gnus] only two messages are visible in the Summary

[Andrey Tykhonov]

Hi all!

I had tried gnus several times before. And it worked well for me (except
slowness). Now I've taken my old .gnus.el and .offlineimaprc, re-used them.
Also, I've installed dovecot. Now offlineimap takes emails from remote IMAP
and gnus connects to the local dovecot which reads emails from local
directory.

Yesterday I got all messages by means of offlineimap and saw them in the
Summary buffer. I've read all messages except two of them. But today I only
see two messages in the Summary buffer. In the Group buffer it shows 146
near "nnimap+Mail:INBOX" and in the modeline I see text "{2(+144) more}".
Periodically I execute offlineimap and see that new messages are arrived.
But I don't see new messages in the Summary buffer. I tried to use `C-u
RET` in the Group buffer but I didn't find new messages there (however old
messages are there). Also, I've truncated .gnus.el and left most important
code there (and restarted Emacs) but it didn't help.

I have no idea why new messages don't appear in the Summary buffer. Any
ideas, thoughts?

Thank you!


Andrey

This means that Gnus knows there are 146 unread messages, and that it's
only showing two of them, which is odd.  When you `C-u RET' the group,
how many articles does it say are in it?

For now, in "*Group*" buffer: 511, in "*Summary nnimap+Mail:INBOX*" buffer:
"{2(+509) more}". When I `C-u RET` the group it says the same: "{2(+509)
more}" and I don't see there any (new) unread messages.

But what did the prompt say when you said `C-u RET'?
