nnimap, agent and cache

nnimap, agent and cache

[Mickael Remond]

Hello,

I have just set up gnus to work with IMAP, cache and agent.
The agent works well for getting new mails in all my IMAP mailboxes.

However, I have a problem when I move or delete email.
They are actually removed from the server but are kept in the mailbox by
the agent.
I try marking it to remove it from cache, but it did not help.

Am I missing something ?
Any idea how to force the agent to not only download new mails but also
purge mail that do not exist anyomre on the remote server.

Thank you !

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.
