I apologize if I haven't rtfm'd adequately, but after the switch the message read status seems to be stored locally rather than on the IMAP server, or something. I've got multiple machines running gnus which all connect to the same IMAP server, but they're all suddenly showing tons of unread messages, which I have read. My other imap client (an iphone) continues to show those messages as read. I'll look into this some more when I get a chance, but in case someone goes "Aha!" I thought I'd mention it here. Other (minor) issues I've run into during the switch: - I had to replace gnus-user-date-format-alist with gnus-summary-user-date-format-alist - the %U format in gnus-group-line-format doesn't seem to be working -- I haven't done a lot of troubleshooting but it looks like it's returning a number instead of a string. For now I've done the quick-and-dirty thing of using a user-format-function. - Gnus failed to start for me until I disabled diminish for gnus-agent-mode. Not a gnus problem, obviously, but it took me a while to realize what was going on. On the plus side: Wow, blazing fast updates! With multiple imap sources and nntp I suspect that the asynchronous connection helps a lot, but the improvement is dramatic whatever the source. And the improved auth (storing auth info encrypted) is nice as well. Thanks! -- Jeremy Hankins
