I have one server that isn't handled by the agent, becaue I don't want agent to cache the articles from it (because the articles are mostly noise...) and that is news.gwene.org. Is it possible to make 'J j' close this server and open this server again, with the agentized servers, without adding the server to the agent and thereby start doing caching? Thanks! - Steinar

Your goal is to go unplugged, but not cache any articles, right? My
impression was that if you don't use "J s" to explicitly download
eligible articles, the agent won't do anything. Is that not correct?

I believe (but unverified) that any article you read will be cached in
the agent's store.

Oh I see, yes. I don't think there's a knob for that, but you can make
sure agent expiry is on, and set `gnus-agent-expire-days' to 1 or
something. If that doesn't slim down locally-cached data then it's a
bug!
Now I've encountered an interesting feature/bug: gnus-cloud synchronization does not work, if the IMAP server used to store the sync info is agentized. Hm...
