I'm using GNUS 5.13 with GNU emacs23. I recently switched from using the pipeline: procmail->maildir->dovecot->nnimap to one like: procmail->maildir->dovecot->offlineimap->dovecot->nnimap.
For offlineimap I use the mapping scheme to carry over Gnus marks. But, I may have done several syncs before I clued in to this issue. Two problems have developed: Now, when I hit ENTER on a group (gnus-group-read-group) I'm asked for: How many articles from nnimap+localhost:topic (default 20810) The "topic" group may contain only a small handful of new articles and ~20k of ancient (marked "O") ones. Before the change, only the new articles (and any articles marked "!") would be retrieved. I can type in the number of articles I want and sometimes this is okay, if a bit tedious. But if the new mail is a reply to an early thread it is not obvious how many articles must be retrieved to pick up the new one. The other problem, maybe related, is sometimes I will enter a group with, say, one new article by doing ENTER 1 ENTER, read that article, exit the group and now the group will have many "new" articles. Reentering the group I find the articles that were previously ancient are no lacking any marks. I've searched around this list and elsewhere and find others that seem to have the same sort of issues but no solutions. There is some hints that offlineimap may be reordering articles somehow but nothing conclusive. I hope someone has some suggestion.
