Sure, but someone has to decide if the solutions get us into trouble
somehow. Disconnected operation tend to be semantical nightmares, and
my solution look too simple...

If you want to do the thinking, here's the simple
`nnagent-request-set-mark' I've been playing with.

(deffoo nnagent-request-set-mark (group action server)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert (format "(%s-request-set-mark \"%s\" %s \"%s\")\n"
		    (nth 0 gnus-command-method) group action 
		    (or server (nth 1 gnus-command-method))))
    (append-to-file (point-min) (point-max) (gnus-agent-lib-file "flags"))))

I'm evaluating the files created by this manually when I become
plugged.

You'll probably need to re-open the nnimap server manually (`C`, then
`O' on the nnimap server in the Server Buffer) for this to work.
