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)" Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
