Nope, it turns out IMAP does not work properly without syncing .newsrc. Today I sent all my marks files home, but did not send .newsrc.eld along with them. When I connected to my nnimap servers at home, the message counts in the Group buffer are all wrong. Well, sort of; they count how many messages Gnus has not seen at home, not how many of my IMAP messages are unread. My INBOX, for example, noted 8 new messages, but upon entering the group there were no new ones there. I had read them all at work already. Also, it looks like the expire mark is not synchronized. All of the IMAP messages that arrived in my INBOX today at work were marked as expirable (manually with 'E'), but none of those messages are marked as expirable now at home. Is the expirable mark supposedly stored on the server? If not, is .newsrc.eld the only place where expire marks are stored? -- Steven E. Harris
