Protocol-wise a imap-client doesn't have to do anything to support
disconnected operation, which means nnimap "support" it.

It's the same thing actually, a client implementing imap disconnected
mode would do it the way gnus-agent/nnagent does it (I imagine, only
having a fuzzy idea about the agent internals).

OTOH I'm not aware of anyone that has used gnus-agent + nnimap, so it
isn't a plug'n'play solution that would solve your problem today.
