I've entered all my (remote) servers into the Agent.  I've noticed
that now Gnus does not show all the articles present in groups.  In a
particular (nnimap) group, when the server is agentized, entering the
group with C-u RET shows 6 articles.  When I remove the server from
the Agent, then with the same keystroke I see 25 articles.  I've
verified with another IMAP client that the latter is the truth.

This is totally reproducible for me.

Nevin,
I'm going to need a whole bunch more information.

Agentizing a group really shouldn't result in this sort of behavior
change. This will have to be a scattershot until we get some clues as
to what is happening.

Are you plugged the entire time?

What's the value of gnus-newsgroup-active when agentized
(unagentized)?

Are the 6 articles a subset of the 25? Are the 6 articles marked as
downloaded or undownloaded?

Kevin

Kevin: in order to get to the articles that I needed (which were not
being shown when the server was agentized) I removed it from the
Agent.  Then (sometime later) I ran gnus-agent-expire and I answered
yes to the questions that asked whether I wanted to remove some
directories that were no longer under Agent control.

Now when I entered the server in the Agent again to get you the
information that you wanted, I couldn't reproduce the problem.  (Which
is good I guess.)

If this happens again, I will report back with the information that
you require.

Excellent, the directory deletion is a new feature.  Did it work well
for you?

True, not the best, but acceptable.

Yes, except that it asks (seemingly) the same question over and over.
For example, it asked me if I wanted to delete the directory
~/News/agent/nnimap/jesse about 10 times.  I suspect that it was
really asking me if I wanted to delete subdirectories in there, one at
a time but only displaying the root directory.
