imap + agent : moved article NOT deleted from source group

imap + agent : moved article NOT deleted from source group

[Danny Siu]

I don't know since when this is happening, but when article is 'B m' from an
IMAP source group to a destination group (same IMAP server), it is NOT
removed from the source group and it is marked as 'O'.  I seem to recall the
moved article is immediately removed from the source group when doing 'B m'.

This only happens when agent is enabled.  When I remove the IMAP server from
agent, the article is deleted from the source group - which should be the
correct behaviour I expect.

I am using CVS gnus and I don't use auto-expire or total-expire for all my
IMAP groups.

Anyone seeing this?

I've been haunted by this problem for a while and it is really annoying. I
would probably have to disable agent for now but I then can't read/search
emails offline.

I looked into this problem a little more and found that setting
gnus-fetch-old-headers to 'nil will fix it.  ie: 'B m' will delete the moved
article from the source group.  I think the header fetch is bypassing the
agent code and that results in some inconsistent NOV entries in the agent
cache.

Well, that's nice to hear.  I just ran into gnus-fetch-old-headers 
earlier this week.  This variable is used by the nntp backend to 
override the list of requested headers to fetch a subset.  The 
problem that was previously reported was that gnus fetched the 
same headers each time it entered a group because (of course) it 
bypassed the agent.

Now, you've run into a similar problem with nnml.  Hmmm... It 
looks like nnml simulates the nov database with a local file of 
article headers.  Apparently, the 'B m' command fails to update 
this file as a subsequent call to retrieve header with gnus-fetch-
old-headers fetches the article's old header.

Unless someone volunteers, I'll see what can be done with the 'B 
m' command to keep the nnml nov file in sync.
