Well, IMAP + Gnus agents work for me, with the following caveats:
1. I only have one account per imap server and
2. when I want to update the agent (J s), I quit gnus, restart it and
then download.
The second point is critical, in my experience. If I have done anything
with gnus (reading, expiring, whatever), then the agent gets confused.
I cannot reproduce the problems at will but ever since I started doing
the download *only* immediately after starting gnus, everything has
worked fine.
I make use of the agent for offline work twice daily for my long train
commutes. Couldn't function anywhere near as well without it. I used
to use offlineimap but moved to gnus completely when it improved so
dramatically last year and because it looked like offlineimap was being
orphaned...
HTH,
eric
