Any chance that, like me, you are using gnus-sync or something else to sync marks? That could be pulling the unexist marks back until you clean them *and* force an overwrite. Try the following, adapted from `gnus-clean-old-newsrc' to clean unconditionally and to tell you it's doing so. You may want to adapt it to just do your problematic NNTP groups. #+begin_src lisp ;; Remove old `exist' marks from old nnimap groups. (dolist (info (cdr gnus-newsrc-alist)) (let ((exist (assoc 'unexist (gnus-info-marks info)))) (when exist (message "Cleaning unexist marks from group %s" (car info)) (gnus-info-set-marks info (delete exist (gnus-info-marks info)))))) #+end_src Ted
