What is the difference between > =E2=80=98nnml-=E2=80=99 and similar =E2=80=98gnus-=E2=80=99 variables? In OO terms, nnmail.el can be thought of as an abstract parent class for all backends belonging to the "store messages as files on disk" type of server. It provides settings and functions that are used in common by nnml, nnmbox, nnmaildir, etc. In this particular case, though, `nnmail-list-identifiers' is only used within `nnmail-remove-list-identifiers', which isn't actually called by Gnus anywhere, it's just provided as a function that you could potentially use as part of the `nnmail-prepare-incoming-header-hook'. See the "Washing Mail" section of the manual. The `gnus-' version, by contrast, gets called automatically as part of message display. I know it's not intuitive...
