Re: gnus is not showing all my messages

OK, I fixed it. The problem was rather non-intuitive. It appears that
gnus doesn't like a space in the name of the mail method. For example
the following causes a problem

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "My Mail"
                                  (nnimap-address "imap.server.com")
                                  (nnimap-server-port 993)
                                  (nnimap-stream tls)
                                  ))

but if I replace "My Mail" with "MyMail" or "My\ Mail" all the
messages are displayed fine. I don't know if this behaviour is
something expected. Can someone else try this?
