In my work, I am alternating between two computers where the user directories are complete mirror images (updated via rsync whenever I need to switch from one to the other computer). Somehow I am having difficulties to get this to work with gnus:
- How can I tell gnus (in a running emacs session) that I've rsync'ed all local user directories and gnus should update itself accordingly when, for example, articles are marked as read or expired. - Where does gnus store the information that I have read or marked for expiration some news or mail articles in a group? (Somehow, right now when switching to the other computer, gnus appears to be becoming aware of new articles that arrived on the other computer and were subsequently rsync'ed to the local machine; only the marks regarding the status of these articles are lost when switching to the other computer, as if these marks were stored in a file that is ignored by rsync.) I hope that such a work flow is not running into fundamental difficulties. Roland
