Hi all,

I use Gnus with nnimap (without Gnus Agent, but with cache).
In my gnus-group-line-format variable, I use %t which displays wrong
number of articles (actually, too many).

I search for something like gnus-group-compact-group, but relevant for
nnimap backend.

Could you help me?

Regards,

Frederic

AFAIK, there is no workaround at the moment.
I have the same problem. In some of my mail groups, the first article is number 9
(some old article I keep around) and newest one is number 690. So, the
number reported by %t is 690-9, even if there are only 20 articles in the group.

In fact, there seems to be a workaround explained in the wiki
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusNiftyTricks
at the very end of the page. I didn't try it though.
