How is your gnus accessing your mail? If its imap it'll see the correct
folders and articles : in my case I sync using offliniemap between about
5 machines with no issues. If I move on one, offlineimap syncs my local
dovecot with remote gmail and the other clients, in turn, sync gmail to
their local dovecot.

My setup is Gnus connecting via nnimap to a dovecot server.
My other client is usually Sylpheed, connecting again via imap directly.

If I move a message to the trash using Sylpheed, for instance, I can
still see the message in the summary buffer when I use Gnus later, but
trying to display it will cause the line to be marked as deleted.

strange i don't recall that when i switched from claws-mail to gnus. i
seem to recall that when i moved something in claws, it showed up that
way in gnus. (i'm pretty sure of this, but i can double check later).

could it be a matter of refreshing your gnus with r or possibly R?
or what happens if you shut down gnus and go back in?

Does `M-g' on the nnimap groups do anything?

Anyway, nnimap has been rewritten for Emacs 24, so this problem is
probably gone by now.  (And new ones have been created.  :-)

No, I can't say it does any difference.

Is there anything more radical I can run on a group to completely
purge/refresh/rescan it?

I'm not sure how that works in Emacs 23 nnimap.  Anybody?

nnimap and other clients

[Yuri D'Elia]

Hi everyone. I noticed that if I move a message among folders (via
another imap client) Gnus doesn't pick up the change (and doesn't seem
to notice the different article count anyway).

Is there a way to regenerate such caches? Is there a way to make this
automatic (in case other clients modify imap folders)?

Thanks
