Hi Kai,

This works for me:

;; with an appropriate entry in .procmail...
(setq nndiary-mail-sources '((imap :server "imap.oce.orst.edu" 
:mailbox "mail/nndiary" :dontexpunge t)))

However, it is maybe a little cruder than you would like.   The
"dontexpunge" means that it can be left on the IMAP server for other
users to fetch.   However, is it now flagged as read?  Maybe thats a
problem for other users who only fetch unread.  How does gnus decide
what articles to get from the IMAP server?  Does it keep track of
read/unread, or does it read the flags from the server?



But I think you need to bring the article to your machine for nndiary
to be able to have it be marked "unread" whenever it is coming due.  I
guess you could mark it unread on the IMAP server, but only the first
person to read it would get alerted.  Not good I guess...
