Yes, I've been suffering this problem with the agent for years and years. The only remedy I've found is to occasionally run `gnus-agent-expire-group' manually when looking at the Summary Buffer within the afflicted mailbox group. I don't know why this function doesn't get run automatically, or more frequently. Sometimes it's the only way not only to get rid of these "ghost articles", but also to make the articles that arrived and were noticed outside of Gnus available within Gnus. -- Steven E. Harris
