I've tried the simple solution: rsyncing the whole bunch of files (news, mail, .gnus.el, and some other gnus files. Unfortunately, this doesn't work as expected: in some mail folders the unread messages are months old, perhaps from the time the mail files were on the computer I want to sync to (or even before that - in a nutshell: my Gnus files have flied through several machines several times (but I had no trouble with that)). I plan to look at this deeply (like, seeing if the messages are actually there, if something differs from a plain tar+scp+untar, and some other forensics), but I'd like to know if anyone has already experienced anything like this. The backend possibly matters: it's nnmaildir. -- Nuno J. Silva gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/njsg
