My IT department is in the process of switching servers, and I have only until saturday to get this resolved. Historically (until today), I've been using Oort Gnus 0.03, and the IMAP server I've connected to is from the University of Washington, version 4.5. Today, our IT department moved my mail to the new mail server, which is running Courier IMAP server, version 1.3.12. The first thing I noticed is a change to the directory structure. Where in my old imap I had mailboxes with names like "mail/in/dnc", they are now "INBOX.in.dnc". No big deal there, some string substitution in my .gnus should resolve the issues. But, I took a look at whats in "INBOX.in.dnc", and I see that all my mail is there, but all marks are gone. Every mail looks unread. Now, I have quite a few mailboxes, and quite a few old emails in them. I'm wondering if there's some way I can preserve the marks which still exist on the old imap server. Also, I'm wondering if my IT department did something wrong to drop the marks, or is there nothing they can do about it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Oh, and by the way, I do plan to upgrade to ognus 0.05 as soon as I'm sure this switchover has gone OK. -Dave
