Dear Will,

The problem has returned with a vengeance.  For messages kept on an IMAP
mail server (accessed via nnimap), the act of clearing the tick mark (on
the server) does not make it to gnus.  I've tried setting/unsetting the
tick (I think it is called "Flagged" on the imap end) using thunderbird,
and the unticking is not "seen" by gnus, where ticking does work.
Setting gnus-agent-synchronize-flags to t does not solve the
unticking-not-seen problem.

Any further suggestions?  (I've tried accessing the imap inbox from a
newly created test account in order to make sure that some old
gnus-related cruft is causing the problem, but no change.)

Best,
Par 

PS: The emacs/gnus versions are: 

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.2, GTK+ Version 2.18.9) of 2013-03-29 
on odin.lan

Gnus v5.13
