Subject: Reduce size of newsrc.eld for nnimap
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2014 12:15:39 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mwa3361w.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I would like to reduce the size of my newsrc.eld file and most of this
file is populated by entries corresponding to the "All Mail" and "Sent
Mail" gmail groups. I could just kill these two groups, but IMO it would
be better if I could tell gnus not to store local info about them,
because all I care about these groups is whether the contained emails
have been read, and that's already stored at the imap server. Is that
possible? Why is it that gnus stores long sequences of message ids
locally? What additional information is gnus keeping there? Is that
information critical for the proper working of gnus? I wasn't able to
find group parameters related to the above.

Best regards
--
Carlos
