My setup is: work: server A has groups P, Q, R; server B has groups X, Y, Z home: server A has groups P, Q; server B is not available I considered storing the marks on a per-server basis (providing storage for marks like IMAP does internally, for example). But I think gnus-sync.el can be used to synchronize more: the topic hierarchy and parameters, for instance. In this it also will be more powerful than gnus-agent.el and that's why I didn't just use that code. Ted
