I am rather annoyed I have to admit. For what purpose did you try to use ‘Gnus Cloud’? As manual says: “Very often, you want all your marks (what articles you’ve read, which ones were important, and so on) to be synchronized between several machines. With IMAP, that’s built into the protocol, so you can read nnimap groups from many machines and they are automatically synchronized.” So, it’s not needed for syncing messages and their marks, right? Honestly, reading the ‘(info "(gnus) The Gnus Cloud")’ doesn’t give me any idea on what the actual use case of ‘Gnus Cloud’ would be! -- English is not my native/mother language. I can read and understand English well, but I have problems expressing my thoughts in it. Please, bear with me. Sincerely, Pyromania.
