Because the hint from Nicolas KOWALSKI it is not as important anymore, but I like to understand things. First when leaving a group gnus-summary-expire-articles was always called. I had two big groups (on a local IMAPS server): one with 1162 articles off which 71 where expired and one with 8228 articles of which 54 where expired. The first group took a lot longer as the first. When things had to be deleted from the IMAPS server, I could understand it. But when leaving a group 2 minutes later (and when there where no articles to be deleted) I do not understand this. So why is this the case?
By the way: to get the number of articles that are expired in a group: - enter it with C-u Space - M-x how-many - ^E With apropos I get: gnus-agent-expire-days is a variable defined in `gnus-agent.el'. Its value is 7 Documentation: Read articles older than this will be expired. I think that this is an error, because -luckily- only articles from which I have said that they are expired more then seven days ago are deleted. Is there a way to find out how long ago I expired an article? When running gnus-group-expire-all-groups I would like to log how many articles from a group are deleted. Is this possible? When running gnus-group-expire-all-groups. A lot of information is displayed in the mini-buffer, but not everything is logged in the Message buffer. For example the connection information to the IMAPS server. Is there a way to capture all the information? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
