Nope. Gnus really doesn't have any sort of mechanism for getting
updates from the servers asynchronously. But it'd be nice if it did.
But I guess this can be pushed down into the backends without Gnus
knowing anything about it. I mean, nnimap could be using IDLE for
notifications, and just keeping track of what the server says is
happening. A `g' from Gnus could then be basically a NOOP network-wise,
and just give Gnus the info that's already been received by IDLE.
I think.
However, doesn't IDLE just give info about what's going on in a single
mailbox? That doesn't sound very useful. But I dimly remember this
being discussed before? There's a new IMAP extension that'll output new
data on all mailboxes? That no IMAP servers implement yet? Or
something?
