I use two different machines with different home directories but the same gnus configuration (i.e. same IMAP servers, etc.). With the agent enabled it seems impossible to have either of the machines note any changes to an IMAP folder made by the other machine. In effect I have to delete the agent .overview files each time I sit down at a machine. Is this the way it is supposed to be? (As an aside, using the cache rather than the agent displays the same problems. At the moment I'm running without either.) dme.
