I've used the following settings for a while to "aggressively" cache things. When I'm offline articles I've already seen can be loaded from the cache. It works well, though I do end up with lots of data in the cache. So far this hasn't been a problem (disks are large !). I _think_ that you need to use a version of gnus which has the combined cache/agent stuff, but I'm not really sure (it's in Oort I believe). (setq ; needs to be "t" for the cache to have any effect gnus-use-cache t ; only cache these groups gnus-cacheable-groups "^nnimap\\|^nntp" ; this means that all articles which are read will be stored in the ; cache, as well as the default set - good for ad-hoc offline ; re-reading gnus-cache-enter-articles '(ticked dormant unread read) gnus-cache-remove-articles nil )
