Subject: Re: tick marks cleared on server, but still seen as ticked by gnus
Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2013 23:22:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2mwq6nffk.fsf@math.kth.se> (raw)

I've now put (setq gnus-agent nil) in my .gnus, please let me know if
there is something else I should do to disable the agent.

Anyway, I now see the following behaviour:


* Using gnus (and checking what is on the imap server by using
  thunderbird):

Setting tick: works (the message is starred according to thunderbird.)

Clearing tick: works (the star is cleared according to thunderbird.)

Clearing read flag: pressing M-c (gnus-summary-clear-mark-forward):
works.

Setting read flag by pressing "d" (gnus-summary-mark-as-read-forward):
works.

To be precise: the flags are only updated when I hit q to exit
summary buffer.



* Going the other direction: setting/clearing read/star on the
  thunderbird side, and noting what gnus "sees".  (Note: the changes
  done on the thunderbird side are noticed by our webmail frontend.)

Setting star: works once - message ticked according to gnus (after
hitting g in the group buffer).  When I tried it again it did not work.

Clearing star: does not work - still ticked according to gnus.  (After
hitting g in the group buffer.)

Clearing read flag: works sometimes. (The number of unread messages in
the group buffer changes.)

Setting read flag: works sometimes. (The number of unread messages in
the group buffer changes.)

Regarding the read flags working occasionally, can't spot a pattern.


This is a bit perplexing - before I set gnus-agent to nil, I'm pretty
sure read/unread was syncronized from thunderbird to gnus.

Best,
Par
