I'm using dovecot with nnimap and local maildirs.
I'd like a mark to remain by messages in the summary buffer until I have
actually read them (presumably that would be gnus-unseen-mark). When I
enter a group, new messages have the 'N' mark (gnus-recent-mark) in the
summary buffer. If I leave that group (without reading anything) and
then re-enter, the 'N' mark has disappeared and is (often) not replaced
by any mark. Actually I do sometimes get the '.' mark which aIui is
gnus-unseen-mark, but by no means always.
What should I do in order to reliably get a persistent gnus-unseen-mark
next to messages until I have read them?
Thanks a lot,
Dan
Here's one possibly relevant variable setting:
(setq gnus-summary-line-format
(concat
"%0{%U%R%z%}"
"%3{│%}" "%1{%d%}" "%3{│%}" ;; date
" "
"%4{%-20,20f%}" ;; name
" "
"%3{│%}"
" "
"%1{%B%}"
"%s\n"))

This remains a problem for me: if I enter a group, and then leave it
without reading every new message (marked 'N'), and then re-enter, the
unread messages have no mark to differentiate them from read messages,
leading to missed mail. Can anyone suggest which aspects of my setup I
should review in order to get persistent marking of unread messages?
[nnimap with dovecot serving local maildirs populated by getmail]
Thanks a lot,
Dan
