That's still the case I think. At least it was the last time I tried (which admittedly was a while back). I think you would have to do quite a few changes to the Agent architecture to support it. The way it is now, is that if you have an article cached in the agent, and then move the original article to a new folder, the moved article won't be cached until you download it in the new folder (or read it, if you have added gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article to gnus-select-article-hook). On a side note: another thing that's missing from the agentized imap support, is partial download of messages (ie. download the text and leave the attachments on the server, until you actually want to read them). This isn't as critical as it was ten years ago, but it's still is a capability of the IMAP protocol that isn't utilized by nnimap.
