This is weird, `gnus-group-get-new-news' (or whatever it calls)
shouldn't look at the overview file at all. Fetching overview files
is quite slow, so it shouldn't be done when looking for new mail.
`nnimap-nov-is-evil' is only used by `nnimap-retrieve-headers', but it
isn't called at all when I fetch new mail. Is it called for you?
Could you debug-on-entry this function and mail me the backtrace?
It's a bug.
