How do I find out which server mail is split to? Sometimes, it is the
car of gnus-secondary-select-methods, sometimes it is
gnus-select-method, and I'm sure other values are also possible.
The Gnus code has got to have a way to find the right server, so there
must be a way for me, too. Only, what is that way?

All backends that ask for mail will get mail, if there are any. This
means that the mail backend that's activated first gets most mail, and
the others get little mail.
`nn*-get-new-mail' are used to switch this off for the mail backends
that really shouldn't be snarfing mail.

Okay, so I go through gnus-select-method and
gnus-secondary-select-methods in order, and the first backend which
groks respool and where nnchoke-get-new-mail is true, that's the right
one?

Yes, I think so.
