Re: wrong unread count on imap server synced with offlineimap

I don't know the answer to your first question, but regarding your
second question:

I don't think your set-up makes sense.  I don't think it is possible
for offlineimap to ensure that the two IMAP servers use the same
internal message numbers when it copies messages.  And Gnus uses
these numbers to track things like unread status, so you shouldn't
use the same .newsrc.eld for the two servers.  If you don't
synchronize the .newsrc.eld, things should work fine.
