Aloha,
If I fetch new mail (let's say from my Gmail INBOX, which is
the most common thing) then I've noticed the following
situation (and am surprised I didn't notice it long ago).
If I have already opened the mail on the Gmail web interface,
gnus won't fetch it, since it runs a "get-new-news" function
and apparently, at least to IMAP, that mail is old news, not
new news.
Is there a way around this (aside from totally avoiding the
web interface)? In other words can I open the mail on the web
and then still get Gnus to fetch it?
I can't quite work it out as yet. If I quit Gnus and restart,
the mail comes in, so I'm trying to see how that functions.
Mahalo for any insights,

... vageira vageira ...
The above was a bit of an anomalous, misleading, and in the
end kind of dumb posting. The answer has to do with group
levels. Somehow my INBOX changed from level 1 to level 3,
something it took a while to tumble to. "S l 1" and all is now
well.
Ah, gnus ... love it, hate it, can't live without it.
