I (the original poster) want the marks to be updated, as Kay explained,
when reading messages with another mail client, and also I want the
other mail client should also see as read the messages read with
gnus.

Maybe it would be feasible to write some script to be run when
starting/exiting gnus (or mutt) that check the messages that
were read with gnus (or mutt) and automatically mark them as
read in mutt (or gnus). Would that script be easy to write?
What do you gnus user think about this idea?
