Its quite clear it doesnt work > for anyone after all ;) I was wondering if it was "just me"... 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...
