 [REGRESSION] gnus/nnimap/agent: all mails marked as read the
 second time you enter INBOX
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:33:01 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hello,

please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the list.

With the latest emacs-snapshot upgrade on Debian, gnus started marking
all the mails in my IMAP INBOX folder as read.  I reported this as a
regression because I didn't change anything WRT my gnus configuration
and downgrading to emacs-snapshot_1:20080215-1~etch1 removed the bug.

I tested different times, with the same results:

- quit gnus and emacs
- through webmail, move all my IMAP INBOX mails to another folder, mark
  them as unread and move them back to INBOX
- launch emacs and gnus
- the first time gnus starts, the group summary shows the correct total
  number of the unread messages in my IMAP INBOX folder
- enter and exit the IMAP INBOX group
- M-x gnus-group-get-new-news and now the IMAP INBOX group has 0 unread
  mails
- C-u M-x gnus-group-get-new-news doesn't show the read mails either

I suspected a specific problem with my configuration, since I tested a
minimal .gnus (simply setting `gnus-select-method') with another clean
account on the same box and there's no bug there.  However, reading
lisp/gnus/ChangeLog didn't show me any relevant change.

After some debugging, I found that simply disabling the gnus agent or
wiping ~/News/agent/ solved the problem.  More debugging revealed that
another solution was calling `gnus-agent-expire'.  Again, I don't know
what changed with emacs-snapshot_1:20080307-1 and why previous versions
(including 20080215-1~etch1) didn't spot this.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

nnimap and its interaction with various bits of Gnus has been given a
thorough make-over for Emacs 24, so I think this has probably been fixed
by now.
