gnus in an IMAP multi-client setup.

[Daniel Corbe]

I hope this is the right place to ask for general advice.  gnus makes an
awesome news reader and with all the performance gains with the version
of gnus distributed with emacs24 I'd like to use it as an IMAP mail
reader as well.

I need gnus to behave in a cooperative way with other IMAP clients.
gnus is marking entire folders as read as soon as I open them
up in the group summary buffer.  This is undesirable behavior, because
then my other IMAP clients also show the message marked as read.

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I'd like to be able to
manually toggle the read status of a message or even have it done
automatically -- but only after I've viewed the message.
