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
