#### 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 (see 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.
