Yes, indeed, this seems to solve the problem. Was there a recent change in Gnus that requires me to set this variable now, which I never had to do before? I usually do *not* read news online, but always use the agent. Is it normal Gnus behaviour that I have to set gnus-agent-synchronize-flags for that to work? Or could it still be a sign that something went wrong, when I moved my Gnus news data from one system to the other? Thanks a lot for your help, Robert Epprecht
