I set the .gnus as

;;; package --- gnus
;;;
;;;
(setq user-mail-address "[email protected]"
      user-full-name "abst.proc.do")

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "qq.com"
               (nnimap-address "imap.qq.com")  
               (nnimap-server-port 993)
               (nnimap-stream ssl)))

(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.qq.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 465
      smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl
      gnus-ignored-newsgroups "^to\\.\\|^[0-9. ]+\\( \\|$\\)\\|^[\"]\"[#'()]")

After run M-x gnus and L gnus-group-list-all-group

       0: Deleted Messages
       0: Drafts
       1:*INBOX
       0: Junk
       0: Sent Messages
 U     *: nndraft:drafts
       1:*nnfolder+archive:sent.2020-02

However, if enter Inbox, it display just the one new email.

 R. [   5: -> abst.proc.do        ] Re: Group Buffer

How could I set Inbox to display all the emails both read and unread.

Add (dispaly . all) to group parameters for "inbox" as:

((modseq)
 (uidvalidity . "1579733041")
 (display . all)
 (active 1 . 60)
 (permanent-flags %* %Answered %Flagged %Deleted %Draft %Seen))

but it still display only the unread mails.

  • Hmm, it works fine for me. Which version of Emacs/Gnus?

  • Use L in Group buffer to list all folder and select a folder without unread message, then gnus will display all old messages of that folder.

The visibility of articles in a group is controlled by its group parameters. You can use G p or G c when on the group in the *Group* buffer to change them. In this case you'd want something like

((display . all))

See the Group Parameters for more details.

  • I appended (display . all) to group parameter but still only display unread mails. Updated the question.

There is a clumsy distinction between "read" and "ancient" articles denoted "R" and "O" respectively. OP's report that

 R. [   5: -> abst.proc.do        ] Re: Group Buffer

appears suggests he is indeed getting read articles viz. the R mark. He could try /o to try to pull in the other 60 messages which might have the O mark.

I have never had to specially configure Gnus to get "ancient" articles to display, so something is definitely awry.

  • I know, Gnus makes simple things hard, and hard things possible.

Type G-c over the folder and search for Permanently visible'. Tick the checkbox next to that and press [done].
