I am using offlineimap to sync my gmail account to a locak maildir, then using gnus to read that directory everything is fine but gnus uses its own flags for marking read unread status of messages and they are not synced back to gmail. is there a way to force gnus to use standart maildir flags?
A:
Here is everything the official manual has to say about maildirs and GNUS - I personally couldn't find there what you're looking for, but then again I'm a mew user, maybe you'll notice something I didn't. I hear, though, that Wanderlust has the best maildir support of all the Emacs mail readers.

AFAIK, the situation has not improved about nnmaildir and gnus since this.
For this exact situation, I'm now using mutt, setting Emacs as its editor.

A solution is to use a local imap server (as dovecot) to look at your maildir, and to use gnus to access to this imap server.
