Oops, the problem is my terseness.  Your problem was clear (to me at
least)!

I put that caveat on purpose to reflect your original problem but I
responded as I did because of all the other emails in this thread
indicating that there are problems with the Gnus agent even with one
IMAP account alone.  It works for my use case and did not mean to
indicate it would work for yours!  Sorry for the confusion.
