So it turns out that unison has a -times option that will update the modification time when synchronizing [1]. This should have done the job but it didn't. There's something being checked by gnus (in nnmaildir--scan) that I cannot quite catch. I've given up and moved back to nnml. The problem with nnml is the lack of robustness when working on multiple systems. Just have to be more careful... Thanks all for suggestions etc. Footnotes: [1] took well over an hour to do the initial re-synchronization given that my synchronized file hierarchy contains 220k files... gulp. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50 & org 9.2.3 on Debian buster/sid
