This problem has been bugging me for a long time, but it's recently caused me to miss some important e-mails, so it's vital that I figure out how to work around it or ideally to fix it.
First, new mails arriving are sometimes instantly marked "O", so I never see them unless I expand with / o. This seems to happen when I have a group open for a long time, so that it has to reconnect to the imap server when I finally do an operation on a message. Whatever messages arrived in the meantime will never get seen. Second, mails that have been sitting visible and unread for a while will at some point randomly be marked O as well, and disappear from view unless I expand with / o. This is with Gnus v5.13, a courier IMAP server, and the nnimap backend. However, while I have seen the problem with nnimap talking to my local IMAP server as well, it happens much, much, much more often with a different courier server that I talk to over the network. Any help, debugging pointers or workarounds (can I stop messages from ever being marked O?) would be much appreciated. I'm current working around the first problem by running a separate script that spits out subject headings as mail arrives, and working around the second problem by using a lot of the ! mark -- since that keeps the mail visible, but they are not working perfectly and are far from ideal.
