Thanks a lot. I tried merging the very few differences between your conf
and mine but it didn't solve the problem. However I've finally been able
to identify the problem with mine : I was splitting the messages on this
imap account. So, in a nutshell :

- imap + gnus-agent : works fine

- imap with splitting + gnus-agent : every unread mail on the server
  gets a duplicate in the Summary buffer every time the agent fetchs
  when gnus runs unplugged. This duplicate disappears with C-g in the
  Summary buffer when running gnus plugged.


Is there a reason why splitting shouldn't be used when agent fetching ?
Are some of you successfully using the agent in this manner ?

Here are the relevant parts of my .gnus.el.
