I discovered the problem (but not the solution): gnus is not reading
emails that are in the 'new' directory. only when they are moved to
the 'cur' directory gnus will show then in the group buffer. And gnus
itself is not moving files from new to cur. I used mutt to check if
things where working and it moved the files to cur.

any idea why this is happening?
