To be true, I have not really understood what Gnus Agent exactly does.
So I don't really know what your question is aiming at.
I just used the Agent without knowing, because it's turned on by
default. To store and access my emails offline, I expire them from the
server after two weeks with a kind of "spool folder" on the imap server
as the expiry-target. fetchmail clears this folder via POP and stores
the mails on my disk where I access them via nnml. In this way, I have
the messages available from every computer for a while, and after two
weeks I have them saved for eternity on a local machine without running
out of server space.
