I am confused.  This is the default behaviour.  The point of imap is
that the emails remain on the server and all manipulations are on the
server.

This behaviour can be changed by using the gnus agent to download copies
but I do not believe this happens by default.

Or are you referring to the cache that gnus uses?  If it's the latter,
check out =gnus-cacheable-groups= and maybe some of the gnus-cache-
variables.
