One of the thing that isn't work so well with the current agent
implementation is updating an otherwise unplugged session. 

If one has downloaded a batch of articles, then read some, and then
wants to download new messages, it is currently necessary to
synchronize first and then download in order to avoid already read
articles to reappear as unread.

It would be nice if the nnimap agent would be able to remember what
was read unplugged, regardless of how the articles was marked at the
server, even if it only would within a single gnus session
(ie. non-persistant).
