28.0.50; Gnus: mairix doesn't work anymore |

Hello,
this is probably a member of one class of my repeated Gnus bug reports
about one and the same thing that breaks and breaks again.
Some years ago I had setup nnmairix for Gnus to be able to search
mails. It was hard.
It worked for some months. Since then, every single time when I tried to
use it, it was broken, and needed manual intervention to fix. Most of
the time, I had to repeat the setup, and that worked.
Now, I tried several hours to get it work, but failed, no chance
whatever I tried. I see that mairix works fine in the background, but
Gnus doesn't. I only get empty or inaccessible groups corresponding to
the search. Recreating or editing the related nnml group(s) doesn't
help. Gnus doesn't let me edit the nnmairix server definition, it says
I had to do it "in my configuration". I have no clue in which. I don't
create that server in my normal setup.
.newsrc.eld maybe? Thanks to the overlong lines, Emacs is not even able
to edit that file. I could try longlines or so, but I gave up for now,
since I don't even know if it is the right file and what I should try.
Is anybody using this? Should be a common task to search mails in
Gnus. Why is it so hard?
TIA,
Michael.

Done! Thanks.
