Hi !
Is there some biff utility (preferably under X11) compatible with nnml
boxes ?

This sentence has no real meaning. Gnus fetches mail from the places
specified in mail-sources and puts it in the nnml groups itself. If
you have another program which directly frobs the nnml groups, then
you are living very dangerously, and I think finding biff should be
the last thing on your agenda -- much later than running away from
that danger very quickly.
How do mails go into nnml in your case? What's the value of
mail-sources?

For me, biff is an utility which alerts you when you receive a new
mail. Like the "biff" command.

Right, but new mail doesn't show up in your nnml groups. It shows up
in your mail-sources, and then you type [g] in the *Group* buffer to
pull it from mail-sources into your nnml groups. By the time it gets
to nnml, it's no longer new. You need a biff that looks at your
mail-sources, not your nnml groups.

not really the answer, but you may can look at that also :

Does anyone know of a variant of this, that can poll a couple of IMAP
folders?

Check gnu.emacs.sources for imap-mail.el. It didn't work for me
under GNU Emacs (21) though, but the author told me he is working
on a version that is compatible with both Emacs and XEmacs.
Cheers,
