Doesn't IMAP also support storing subscription information on the server? Does Gnus use this? I guess not, since the subscribed groups in Gnus were not subscribed via Squirrelmail. (and vice-versa) I wonder if we could use IMSP to store ALL gnus configuration? now, wouldn't that be cool? Does it have enough features? http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/rfc/imsp.html Then, no syncing would be needed -- all information would be stored on the IMAP/IMSP server. -- Josh Huber
