nnimap and other clients

2011-01-17 Thread Yuri D'Elia
Hi everyone. I noticed that if I move a message among folders (via
another imap client) Gnus doesn't pick up the change (and doesn't seem
to notice the different article count anyway).

Is there a way to regenerate such caches? Is there a way to make this
automatic (in case other clients modify imap folders)?

Thanks

How is your gnus accessing your mail? If its imap it'll see the correct
folders and articles : in my case I sync using offliniemap between about
5 machines with no issues. If I move on one, offlineimap syncs my local
dovecot with remote gmail and the other clients, in turn, sync gmail to
their local dovecot.

My setup is Gnus connecting via nnimap to a dovecot server.
My other client is usually Sylpheed, connecting again via imap directly.

If I move a message to the trash using Sylpheed, for instance, I can
still see the message in the summary buffer when I use Gnus later, but
trying to display it will cause the line to be marked as deleted.

strange i don't recall that when i switched from claws-mail to gnus. i
seem to recall that when i moved something in claws, it showed up that
way in gnus. (i'm pretty sure of this, but i can double check later).

could it be a matter of refreshing your gnus with r or possibly R?
or what happens if you shut down gnus and go back in?

Re: read mail in mbox files

 Hi,
 This is my setup: I use fetchmail to get mail from
 different POP/IMAP servers, then split the incoming
 mail with procmail into different mbox files in ~/Mail.
 What I'd like is gnus to work directly on these mbox
 files. Is this possible? What backend do I need?
 I'd say I don't even want a backend, because I don't
 want to copy mail anywhere!
 Frankly, I'm a bit confused :/
 Cheers,
 Ernest

You're not alone! This is *probably* the nnml backend.

   (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml nnml))

That said I dont know for sure ;)

I mention it because the default is  ~/Mail.

But a point : despite using Gnus for a few years now I am not clear
on what incoming mail means in the context.  Possibly it looks in
/var/spool/mail. But since your mail is already there, I dunno. 

Best of luck!
