	This is great, unless you have some news groups (which you don't want
to check) which are normally more important than some mail groups.  What
I do is "F" - gnus-find-new-newsgroups, which causes nnml to read my
procmail-generated spool files in order to discover if there are any new
groups (which, by the way, is a really neat thing - I don't have to
manually create nnml groups, it automagically creates them), then "2 g"
to update the article counts for the high-priority mail groups.  I'm
only guessing that this sequence would empty the mail spool if you are
letting Gnus split your mail for you, though.
