The server has holes in the UID range, this makes Gnus' unread estimate wrong. Currently this is a documented feature, but hopefully someone gets around to fixing it sometime (it really shouldn't be difficult). > 2) I have two machines each running Gnus, and both access the imap > server.

Maybe this is just how nnimap works, but > a quick glance through the documentation didn't find this. Gnus tries to set a gnus specific flag on the server on the article, but your server didn't offer this feature so it didn't work. (PERMANENTFLAGS was empty in your *imap-log*). > 4) The nnimap docs say: > > `nnimap-expunge-on-close' > ... when you delete a article in Gnus (with `G DEL' or > similar). > > Should that be `B DEL'? Yup, fixed, thanks. > 5) The nnimap docs say: > > `nnimap-importantize-dormant' > If non-nil, marks dormant articles as ticked (as well), for other > IMAP clients.
