My setting is very similar to the one described in http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail Now there is a annoying thing. After deleting mail on the Uni imap server, say with thunderbird and then running offlineimap (at least two times), the corresponding messages are also deleted on my dovecot server (I check that again with thunderbird connected to the dovecot server) However some emails remain in gnus! I have set the agent to nil hand have run gnus-group-get-new-news various times. Either C-u g or simply by g. It seems I have to regenerate that group but the nnimap backend does not allow it. By the way: I looked up the documentation but cannot find a explination for the star which appears in the group buffer on the left as in * 0: nnimap+UCM:INBOX Thanks Uwe Brauer
