For accessing an IMAP server, there's no need to sync Gnus data. That's sort of the point of using IMAP for your mail: multiple clients can independently access it and stay in sync with each other via the IMAP server.

When you are accessing two different IMAP servers (even if they are synced behind the scenes), you definitely don't want to sync the Gnus data, since article numbers won't match. For example, if you tick an article in once Gnus instance, a different article may show up as ticked in the other. Dan
