His usage model sounds like it would suit my needs well; basically he keeps a local copy of all of his messages for fast searching, and so that he can easily work "unplugged". I'm having a hard time replicating that, especially the unplugged part. I do have: (setq gnus-cacheable-groups "^nnimap*" gnus-use-cache t) But it seems to go back to the server a lot, especially to retrieve headers. Also I can't look at my messages at all in "unplugged" Agent mode. What am I missing? BTW, I also wonder if it's possible to get GNUs to cache its notion of each group's headers (summary buffer) between sessions. My other programs (Mulberry, Outlook Express) do that and that's one among many other factors which seems to make them feel a lot more responsive than GNUs.
