This is for me a problem, as I mainly read from my iPad, and sometimes friom my desktop. But I want to see only the news which I did not read on the other device. So something like an imap implementation for gwene would be needed to make it a *very* interesting solution for me. As it stands at the moment, I registered with feedly [1] which syncs with google reader (while it still exists) and provides very similar benefits. If I could sync my gnus (it is really not that difficult to get started, but much more difficult to not get carried away with configuring and tweaking - just because one can... But I love gnus: highly recommended) with my mobile device, I will stick with feedly. Cheers, Rainer > > <#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign> Footnotes: [1] http://www.feedly.com -- Rainer M.
