I use the agent as a cache (but I'm starting to wish I
didn't) and mark messages I don't want to see as expirable.
These messages are then removed from my IMAP-server, but
still available locally. An excellent setup in theory.
I have:
(remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-expire-articles)
since I don't want to wait when exiting a group. Instead I
use:
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-expire-all-groups 180 180)
When I came in this morning all expiration marks in my main
group were missing. I've had this problem before and went
around it by never expiring groups, but then I might as well
keep everything on the IMAP-server in the first place.
As I've mentioned many times before I also have the problem
that when I move messages between groups the message will
not be deleted from the first group.
I'm sorry to be so negative and wish I could word things in
a more diplomatic fashion. Is there anything at all I can do
to help solve these problems? Otherwise I'll problably just
turn off the agent and use some sort of archive groups on
the IMAP-server instead.

Are you able to reproduce this bug in a reliable manner?

I stopped using the agent since the lost marks were causing
me so much extra work and I got no pointers on how to help
debug it.
I'll take a look at it again, but don't expect any immediate
results.

I had a similar problem twice in the last few weeks -- ie not
reproducible: Gnus would forget about a hundred or more read-marks.
That is, I start up Gnus, and my "read" status for most nnml groups
are "back in time" -- the last two dozens or so are unread eventhough
I read them before.
Alex.
