Being the lazy bum that I am, I use the command that uses the fewest
keystrokes: "g" (-:

Hmm. Might just work. Before:

`nnmail-scan-directory-mail-source-once' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "nnmail"

Value: nil

Documentation:
*If non-nil, scan all incoming procmail sorted mails once.
It scans low-level sorted spools even when not required.

After:
...
Value: nil
...

After "g"ing in the Group buffer, "F" tells me that there are now two
new mail groups. Yippie!

Now it works. I never changed this variable from the default. Could it
be that the default was changed? Why?
