If you have single-message-per-file, then the --delete option rsync
will take care of this for you (assuming you have permission to
actually delete on the target machine).
If you have multiple-message-per-file then rsync will handle this
regardless.
I currently keep Gnus on my laptop and my desktop in sync this way.
