I'm using the agent basically as a local cache of my mail for the nnimap backend. Q1: Agent expiration seems to be distinct from "normal" mail expiration. True? Q2: Stuff that's deleted when I run gnus-agent-expire will be deleted off of my local disk without deleting it off of the imap folder. True? Q3: I just want the agent to mirror what's going on with my imap folders. If I delete an article via "normal" expriation while plugged, what happens to the agent copy of the message? Q4: if the answer to Q3 is "nothing," is there a command to remove messages from the agent that have disappeared from the imap server? gnus-agent-expire doesn't (seem) to do what I want, given that it will get rid of all messages older than some age. Q5: Finally, is a question like this more appropriately posted to ding@gnus.org, help-gnu-emacs@gnus.org, or somewhere else? Thank you! Greg
