All of my folders are visible from gnus. Command names like keep, Bobbie, hold.tmp and others. >> Further yet.

Have you tried looking at all the contents of your inbox, say > using /o from the summary view? Sorry I made it sound complicated... I just mean: New mail on gmail does not show up on gnus as new mail. Sometimes its there but marked read, sometimes it not there at all. And no /o does not show it either. In an instant case, I see 1 new message on gmail (in web browser). I've left it there for 2 days now. It has NOT appeared in gnus nnimap folder `INBOX' or `All Mail' yet. > and have you updated the contents from gnus? Yes, including 2 full restarts of gnus followin reboots.
