Re: Setting up a nnmbox server

 Hi,

 I have a ~/mbox file sitting in my hard disk. If I go to the *Server*
 buffer, press `a' to create a new nnmbox server and then I open it with
 `O', no group is shown. The generated lisp shown when editing the server
 with `e' is:

 (nnmbox mbox_server)

 How can I open the messages inside the file?


The easiest way is to create a temporary nndoc group with
G-f in group buffer.  (Or for an ephemeral version use `G F'
uppercase
 
You will be prompted for a filename, where you input the full name of
mbox file like ~/mbox

Only if you really need a permanent folder... you would create a new
server.  Read the manual on that subject C-h i m gnus RET and scroll
quite a ways down to Server Buffer

Under the bigger heading:
SERVER BUFFER
[...]
 * Creating a Virtual Server::   An example session.


Or just click on this if you are reading with gnus.

  (info (gnus)Creating a Virtual Server) 

You will notice you are lacking parts of the specification necessary.

Once you've read that, and tried again... post back if you still need
that server and need and help.

editing .newsrc.eld file

2010-05-29 Thread Sivaram Neelakantan
After renumbering my nnml articles (forgot the command in Gnus) in
some folders, all the marks are now knackered.  My mail.misc has
articles numbered 1-60 whiles the newsrc.eld file has something like
. 400 or so. which has resulted in not being able to see any mails at
all in the mail folder. And so on for other folders.  

How do I fix this?  What should I edit in the .newsrc.eld file?  I
also have some adaptive scoring files too, if it is of any relevance.

Re: Continuing problems with marks in nnimap

 I have mentioned before that unread articles are sometimes spontaneously
 being marked as O, causing them to disappear from my view and me to lose
 track of them. This is a really awful problem to have, but I have no
 idea how to reproduce it or debug it. The only thing I can do is mark
 all unread articles with !, which seems to successfully keep them
 around. But this is very undesirable, since I'd rather use ! for other
 meanings. I will go for a month without the problem happening, and then
 suddenly it will, wiping out my Inbox.

And, it just happened again. Only this time it didn't mark *all* of the
unread messages as O, just almost all of them -- it left 2 unread
messages, which were very new.

When it does happen, it happens when I exit a group as normal with q.
