nnimap+courier: howto sync

[Vehbi Sinan Tunalioglu]

Hi,

I am using: 

* Ubuntu/Linux 
* fetchmail 
* postfix+maildrop 
* Courier IMAP

for catching emails from various pop and imap sources and serving them
locally. I was using mozilla-thunderbird to read my emails. Now, I
want to switch to GNUS to read my emails served from the local Courier
IMAP server.

Two problems:

1. GNUS does not remember which imap folders I was subscribed to, when
   I restart it. (Yes, I am quitting by pressing "q" in the *Group*
   buffer)

2. GNUS seems that it doesn't fetch the actual flags from the server:
   Every email seems as if I did not read them.

Below is my .gnus.el

Thanks in advance.
