AL> Correction: more than 200 *unread* messages.
The "How many articles" question is asked when accessing an inbox
that has N unreads where N is either zero or a number greater than
gnus-large-newsgroup. People more than occasionally access their inbox
when N is zero.

With respect, this is "over the heads" of most users. The "*Server*"
buffer somewhat "trickily" accessed via "^" is already a headscratcher (it was
for me!) for people accustomed to mainstream mail clients.
I admit that complaining does not advance Gnus's cause. In my defense, I've
published a talk-is-cheap-show-me-the-code primer to Gnus IMAP (https://github.com/dickmao/gnus-imap-walkthrough), but removing
"A Practical Guide to Gnus" from its lofty throne atop Google's results is all
but impossible at this point.
