I hope this is the appropriate place for my query. I've switched from Mew to Gnus for reading e-mail over IMAP. One feature I'd like to duplicate is mew-biff-function, which returns the number of new messages on the server. Note that this doesn't download the messages. Is there a way to achieve this with Gnus? Best wishes, Joe
