Following up to myself, I just tried an experiment. I exited Gnus and manually edited one of my .marks files to back off the read range by a single message, leaving the corresponding entries in .newsrc and .newsrc.eld untouched. Upon restarting Gnus, the Group and Summary buffer reflected that I had not read the last article in the edited group. So it does seem that if NNTP can be synced with the .marks files, and IMAP groups don't need .newsrc.eld, then I can stop syncing .newsrc and .newsrc.eld -- topic changes notwithstanding. Are there any files that nnimap groups do need synced, or can they recover /everything/ Gnus knows about them from the server? -- Steven E. Harris
