I have no idea but I have had the same thing happen (in terms of non-marked articles being made unread) 2 or 3 times in the past 2 years, but only with IMAP to an MS Exchange Server and never with other IMAP servers (just in an attempt to add a data point). Incredibly annoying. In my case, I did not lose anything however but maybe this is due to your expiry settings? -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 25.0.50.1 + Ma Gnus v0.12 + evil-git-2748228 : BBDB version 3.1.2 (2014-05-06 11:45:08 -0500) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I never have more than one gnus running at any time. I personally think there's a problem (well, many) with MS Exchange... I wish I didn't have to use it but all attempts at local copies with synchronisation (isync, offlineimap) have failed due to strange errors with the server. Anyway, not a problem. I've learned to live with this and I have more serious issues to address than the shortcomings of MS Exchange... I simply wanted to add a datat point for the OP's benefit. thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.4.1 + Ma Gnus v0.12 + evil-git-d432ec2 : BBDB version 3.0.50 (2013-11-16 11:30:49 -0600) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

If you don't need to access your email from other clients, I can recommend downloading the emails from MS Exchange, using IMAP as a fancy POP3, and storing them locally (say, in nnml). That has worked without problem for me the past 7+ years.

I do access my mail from various other devices but less so all the time as my portable linux devices become more portable and more powerful.... thanks. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.4.1 + Ma Gnus v0.12 + evil-git-2748228 : BBDB version 3.0.50 (2013-11-16 11:30:49 -0600) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
