Eric, thanks; this is very helpful. And it leaves a question/comment or maybe a multi-part one :) 1. Yes as you say not all IMAP servers support all the gnus-ish additions. 2. When an already read/seen article becomes unread again, as in the case I tried out, it appears gnus recognizes the change. 3. But here's the big one, and one that I thought I understood but seem to get inconsistent results. At what point does gnus update the IMAP server? In other words, I read an article. In the summary buffer that article definitely is now shown as read. But that doesn't propagate instantly to the IMAP server. I can see this by (say) opening a gmail web interface and noting that the article I just read on gnus is still unread on gmail web. (I will try a few test cases on my own to see what I can learn.) -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via GNU/Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB
