I was a bit too quick.  It does work for nnimap groups, but I get an
error for nnml groups.

Doing things manually after (gnus-activate-group "nnml+Foo:bar" t) a
`C-u 1 RET' won't enter that group, too.  So I guess the error comes
from the fact that the group's summary wasn't created.

So is that a bug in nnml or is it correct that only nnimap supports it?
Ideally I'd love to see that work for all backends supporting deletion.

Bye,
Tassilo
