Hi,

I read my mail daily with squirrelmail as well as with gnus. I have
noticed that mail I read with squirrelmail isn't always possible to
see in gnus. (I haven't check if the problem always is there. Some
mails might show up in both.) I have however found a workaround. If I
delete the .agentview and .overview files the summary is initialized
correctly and the mail read by squirrelmail is seen in gnus as well.

There is however no way that this situation can be known from gnus. If
it wasn't that I remember having seen those mails I wouldn't have
missed them. So I feel that the situation is bad. nnimap shouldn't
behave like this. Why isn't the overview-file updated when the
contents in the imap folder is changed from outside of gnus?

I have reported this before but haven't gotten any good response saying
either that my setup is broken or that nnimap is broken. Am I the only
one seeing this?

Yours
