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

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: 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. -Nevin

Excellent, the directory deletion is a new feature.

True, not the best, but acceptable. Kevin

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.
