Hopefully linked with the issue I have mentioned numerous times about
multiple agentised gmail accounts  - they all show the same (wrong)
count.

Set up :

   (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
                '(nnimap "riley"
                         (nnir-search-engine imap)
                         (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                         ))
   (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
                '(nnimap "shamrockpub"
                         (nnir-search-engine imap)
                         (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                         ))
   
   (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
                '(nnimap "friends"
                         (nnir-search-engine imap)
                         (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                         ))

where riley,shamrock and friends all identify a unique authinfo line for
authentication.
