I found it: I need to set `nnimap-need-unselect-to-notice-new-mail' in the select methods for each of my nnimap servers. It doesn't seem to be needed with a single nnimap server, but it has to be there for the sake of the 2nd through nth servers. I put it on all three select methods, although perhaps it isn't needed on the first one. But it doesn't seem to hurt being there, so I'll leave it. I'm using Courier IMAP, which the documentation states is a server that probably needs this setting. Thanks to all for your help when I was trying to diagnose this. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
