So I don't get to the point of agent going haywire. This is with no settings as per gnus setup, just the gnus select method defined to an IMAP account. That's why I maybe need to set something up... > agent goes haywire.

Could you point me to your discussion on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general so I can review your setup and try to at least get it partially working... Or it should work perfectly as I don't use multiple gmail accounts, so for one it should work... Fingers crossed... Thanks a lot. -- JJ
