Doesn't seem to....

I'll fiddle with this some more.  Currently I have 
`(setq gnus-save-newsrc-file nil)',  so I'm not sure what nnimap
would do for folders that are not listed in .newsrc.eld.  I suppose
I could do `A A', but that sucks in all the nntp groups as well.

`checking mailbox foo', but I've got a ton of them.  We've also got
a bunch of shared folders as well.  What also takes a while is the
subsequent `Listing subscribed mailboxes on ....'.
