Subject: IMAP: file storage, relation to agent, and what the server does?
Date: Thu, 22 May 2003 17:23:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <u3cj6jyta.fsf@ece.ucdavis.edu> (raw)

Simple question: I'd like to leave my mail files (groups) on the IMAP
server. However, I'm happy with local cached versions on my laptop,
and I assume I can mark what I want cached and then allow gnus to sync
before I unplug.

I don't want to have to sync all the mail groups, and I don't think I
have to. But how should I set up my mail group files so that 

a) I can read mail on the server and always be synched;
b) I can read mail on my laptop and have a few groups synched?

I imagine this is possible and a solved problem; I'm concerned with
the gnus settings necessary to point to the right directories and
files; I haven't used full-blown IMAP before and am not sure what it
magically does for me as far as keeping things synched, and what gnus
does, and what I have to do.
