Hi --

At work, I am using gnus to read mail only.  I used the method in the
FAQ.

One problem is that it takes a long time to load gnus, despite the
fact that it is reading from the mail spool.  The other problem is
that new mail is not showing up in the group buffer.  Every time I
start gnus, all the mail groups have an asterisk to the left of them,
and even though I know I've received mail, they still have the
asterisk.  

What will fix this?
