Message-ID: <55d3nn8ymv.fsf@news.eternal-september.org> (raw)
The gnus manual suggests that it might be nonsensical to have a mail
back end agentized?
Why? It actually seems the best approach for maintaining a local copy of
a certain subset of mails.
For a long time now I have relied on offlineimap and a local dovecot
server. offlineimap has mucked up once too often (3 machines downloading
all 30000 emails again..) and I have decided to revert to a direct gmail
connection : in this scenario I have a group (gmail) with all messages
read - I would like to C-u 1000 /o to fetch the last 1000 messages and
then have the agent fetch those emails and store locally so that I can
peruse them in offline mode. Possible? (I tried and it doesnt work for
me - I have to open an email in unplugged mode for that email to be
marked for fetch next time I do a J s).
