But only if I synchronize the .newsrc.eld file can I get the
tick/dormant and so one flags consistent between the two machines, not
to mention the nnml groups I also use. I guess I should also synchronize
the whole offline imap directories then, but I'd like to avoid this as
it seems an unnecessary when there is already a remote imap server in
the picture.
