I have a group called "nnml:mail.expiry" which is set to the value of the variable nnmail-expiry-target. I am then able to expiry mail items to nnml:mail.copy as an intermediary before final expiry. (The expiry target is set to delete as a group property in nnml:mail.expiry.)
All works well, except I am told that there a couple of hundred available items in nnml:mail.expiry whereas the actual number is only 7. The group nnml:mail.expiry was formed by renaming an existing group, using gnus-group-rename-group, and I suspect this somehow corrupted the item count. How can I correct the count of the number of items in nnml:mail.expiry? Thank you. Colin Baxter.
