gnus: Server Commands
6.1.2 Server Commands
---------------------
‘v’
The key ‘v’ is reserved for users. You can bind it to some command
or better use it as a prefix key.
‘a’
Add a new server (‘gnus-server-add-server’).
‘e’
Edit a server (‘gnus-server-edit-server’).
‘S’
Show the definition of a server (‘gnus-server-show-server’).
‘SPACE’
Browse the current server (‘gnus-server-read-server’).
‘q’
Return to the group buffer (‘gnus-server-exit’).
‘k’
Kill the current server (‘gnus-server-kill-server’).
‘y’
Yank the previously killed server (‘gnus-server-yank-server’).
‘c’
Copy the current server (‘gnus-server-copy-server’).
‘l’
List all servers (‘gnus-server-list-servers’).
‘s’
Request that the server scan its sources for new articles
(‘gnus-server-scan-server’). This is mainly sensible with mail
servers.
‘g’
Request that the server regenerate all its data structures
(‘gnus-server-regenerate-server’). This can be useful if you have
a mail back end that has gotten out of sync.
‘z’
Compact all groups in the server under point
(‘gnus-server-compact-server’). Currently implemented only in nnml
(Mail Spool). This removes gaps between article numbers,
hence getting a correct total article count.
Some more commands for closing, disabling, and re-opening servers are
listed in Unavailable Servers.
