Gnus cloud is not for syncing email. Gnus cloud is for achieving nnimap like functionality in NNTP: ensuring that what I read and respond to on one computer, is also marked read and/or followed-up, when I use gnus on a different computer. Gnus cloud also syncs score setup/status for all backends. Or in my case, so far: *tries* to sync score setup (I think gnus sync actually tries to sync all config and setup stuff found in .newsrc.eld, ie. config created interactively, but I'm not 100% sure...?) An IMAP folder is used for exchanging the synch data, with messages saved in the folder holding the sync data, one new message created by each sync save. And the format of the content of the messages in the IMAP folder, used to hold the sync info is what's in the variable gnus-cloud-storage-method and can be one of: - No encoding - Base64 - Base64-gzip - EPG (which is GPG encoding, I think...? This is the default) And finding a value for gnus-cloud-storage-method that works for me, has been a problem. The default EPG method pops up a dialog twice, asking for a passphrase on every save, and has problems decoding on the receiving end. The Base64 encodings fail on decode, saying "This isn't base64". And "No encoding" maybe works, sometimes... >> Next step out is to read the source code and start debugging to see >> what's actually going on (but that won't happen tonight). > Good luck and do keep us posted. Thanks! Will do!
