Additionally, I see that the ‘.overview’ file for ~/Mail/inbox is truncated, and only includes entries for the last dozen-or-so messages. I've tried to regenerate this file with entries for all the messages without success. When I do ‘/ o’ now, it shows the items in that file first, whatever number I enter to the prompt. The second time I hit ‘/ o’ and enter some number, that many messages are shown. -- İ.
