Subject: Re: wrong unread count on imap server synced with offlineimap

Aloha,

I use and sync the same .newsrc.eld file across several computers and
two IMAP servers, but I let Gnus pull from the servers directly and
don't use offlineimap. There is never a discrepancy this way.

FWIW you can check the unread count directly by capturing (and
parsing, if you wish) the output of this command:

curl -s --insecure --url "imaps://whatever.imap.server" --user
"myuserid:mypassword" --request "STATUS INBOX (UNSEEN)"
