I have exactly the same situation. I use the agent as a cache to solve this. I have this in my .gnus: (setq gnus-agent t) (setq gnus-agent-consider-all-articles t) (setq gnus-agent-expire-days 36500) (add-hook 'gnus-select-article-hook 'gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article) I then mark messages I don't want to keep on the server as expirable and they will get deleted from the server. They will still be available locally (given that the article at some point has been fetched by the agent). When I first tried this a couple of weeks ago, I missed setting the gnus-agent-expire days to a large number and my local articles got deleted as well. Niklas
