I didn't try this, but I'd expect them to come back.  Since the agent
seems broken with nnimap (if messages are deleted by other imap
clients), I just disabled the agent for the entire nnimap server.

It would be nice to have the agent work, and be able to use cached
copies of messages and at mail offline.  It seems that some other uses
of the agent want articles only in the agent (but not on the server)
to appear.  So perhaps this should be a per-group or per-server
property, defaulting to "sync with server" for nnimap.
