In earlier versions, Agent did not work well when other mail clients were also reading and moving mail around on the same imap account. I think that has not been a problem since Emacs 23. This time, I think the sync problems happened in mail groups that had not been entered by Gnus on this machine recently, but had had new mail read on other machines. My guess is that Agent only updates its indexes when you enter the group, so it can get out of sync in cases where mail is read elsewhere. >> Following this, I configured Gnus to use imaps (which I have configured on a >> non-standard port to get through certain firewalls but never bothered to >> use before on localhost), and now run into a third problem. > > I don't follow you here.

As I mentioned, I am running this on a non-standard port in order to get it through a particular firewall. >> But my problems aren't over yet.

I suspect this problem may also be related to the non-standard port.
