I had the same problems when I tried to use the agent with IMAP.  It
simply doesn't work well if articles can be manipulated (copied, moved,
deleted).

For me the consequence was to install a local IMAP server (dovecot) and
sync that with my other IMAP accounts using offlineimap.  I access the
local dovecot server with Gnus but without the agent, and it works just
brilliant and is much faster.

Bye,
Tassilo
