I use =nextcloud= to synchronize gnus state files across devices. Alternatively one may use [[info:gnus#The Gnus Cloud][info:gnus#Gnus Cloud]]. Here i symlink the relevant files/directories to my synchronization directory.

* Config
** Servers
I use =imap= as my primary server. Setup some generic options:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref imap :tangle no
nnimap ,@private/imap-info
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnir-search-engine imap)
#+end_src
Only fetch partial articles. This saves time on opening messages with
large attachments. Load any text based parts and also load any
signature if the message is signed. Unfortunately to correctly verify
the signature the full message needs to be loaded, which is why I
disabled partial fetching for now.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref imap :tangle no
;; (nnimap-fetch-partial-articles "\\(text/\\|signature\\)")
#+end_src
Set my default inbox folder. This is the folder mail is split out of.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref imap :tangle no
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
#+end_src
Use fancy splitting and setup splitting rules. See [[info:gnus#Fancy Mail Splitting][info:gnus#Fancy Mail Splitting]] for details.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb-ref imap :tangle no

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb yes

**** Scoring
To define different scoring files for different groups I set [[info:gnus#Home Score File][home score files]] based on the group name.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-home-score-file
      '(("^nnimap" "nnimap.SCORE") ;; w/ author scoring
        ("gmane" "nntp_gmane.SCORE") ;; w/ author scoring
        ("^nntp\\+localhost" "nntp_global.SCORE") ;; w/o author scoring
        ))
(setq gnus-home-adapt-file
      '(("^nnimap" "nnimap.ADAPT")
        ("gmane" "nntp_gmane.ADAPT")
        ("^nntp\\+localhost" "nntp_global.ADAPT")))
#+end_src
For information about adaptive scoring see [[info:gnus#Adaptive Scoring][info:gnus#Adaptive Scoring]] and this [[https://notes.whatthefuck.computer/1417593600.0-note.html][blog post]] by Ryan Rix.

Temporary scores by default expire after 7 days. I want a slightly longer threshold.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-score-expiry-days 14)
#+end_src
***** Score File Setup
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-use-adaptive-scoring '(word line))
(setq gnus-adaptive-word-length-limit 5)
(setq gnus-adaptive-word-no-group-words t)
(setq gnus-summary-mark-below -300)
(setq gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist
      '(
        <<gnus-adaptive-scoring-wo-from>>))
(setq gnus-default-adaptive-word-score-alist
      `((,gnus-read-mark . 10)
        (,gnus-catchup-mark . -4)
        (,gnus-killed-mark . -15)
        (,gnus-del-mark . -8))
      )
;; (setq gnus-adaptive-word-score-alist gnus-default-adaptive-word-score-alist)
#+end_src
****** Scoring rules
Scoring based on the =from= header does not make sense for rss feeds with only one author or newsgroups with unset author. These files therefore contain my default adaptive scoring rules with or without =from= scoring.
#+NAME: gnus-adaptive-scoring-w-from
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no :eval never
(gnus-unread-mark)
(gnus-ticked-mark (from 4))
(gnus-dormant-mark (from 5))
(gnus-del-mark (from -4) (subject -50))
(gnus-read-mark (from 5) (subject 100))
(gnus-expirable-mark)
(gnus-killed-mark (from -5) (subject -300) (followup -150))
(gnus-kill-file-mark)
(gnus-ancient-mark)
(gnus-low-score-mark)
(gnus-catchup-mark (from -2) (subject -40))
#+end_src
#+NAME: gnus-adaptive-scoring-wo-from
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no :eval never
(gnus-unread-mark)
(gnus-ticked-mark)
(gnus-dormant-mark)
(gnus-del-mark (subject -50))
(gnus-read-mark (subject 100))
(gnus-expirable-mark)
(gnus-killed-mark (subject -300) (followup -150))
(gnus-kill-file-mark)
(gnus-ancient-mark)
(gnus-low-score-mark)
(gnus-catchup-mark (subject -40))
#+end_src
Unfortunately setting these on a per group basis does not work currently as it would (at least) override the word scoring setting. So I stick with the same adaptive scoring rules for all groups set above.
***** Misc Options
To ensure filenames compatible with Windows and stuff:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist '((?: . ?_) (?[ . ?_) (?] . ?_)))
#+end_src

Slow scoring decay prevents huge scores from building up. Only run on =.ADAPT= score files and decay each scoring rule by 1 point or 1%, whichever is larger.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-decay-scores "\\.ADAPT\\'"
      gnus-score-decay-constant 1
      gnus-score-decay-scale 0.01)
#+end_src
***** Ignored Words
Do not score on some common german words. I extracted these from my score file after a few weeks of using scoring.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-ignored-adaptive-words

**** Gnus Cloud
The [[info:gnus#The Gnus Cloud][Gnus Cloud]] lets you synchronize marks and general data (whatever that is) across different machines. +This seems more complete than manually (with Nextcloud, …) syncing the news related files (=~/.newsrc.eld=, =~/News=, …).+

To enable it go to the gnus server buffer and mark the servers to be synced with =i= and the (imap) server which is used as host with =I=.

Commands to interact with the gnus cloud are prefixed with =~= in the group buffer.

***** Only download specific files
Gnus Cloud sync all newsrc data and the specified files. Sometimes one would only want to download and update only specific files without overwriting all newsrc data.

This function is very similar to ~gnus-cloud-download-data~ but takes a regexp to match against filenames. Note that it does not update ~gnus-cloud-sequence~ (for now). So when only doing partial downloads repeatedly you may need to update ~gnus-cloud-sequence~ manually.

;;; Commentary:

;; This code provides modeline notification of when certain groups contain
;; unread messages. Groups for whom unread messages should be indicated are
;; chosen by setting a group parameter.

;; Clicking on a group in the modeline will enter that group and view the new
;; message.

;; Code:
