Now, I wanted to see if new mail have arrived without switching to
Gnus (I use Gnus daemon to get new mail).

BTW I altered my mode line to show the number of unread messages (if
there are any), but encountered the following problem: is there a hook
that is called *after* the article was marked as read. I defined a
function that changes the modeline and call it after the new mail was
obtained (via gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook), but it also should be
called when articles are marked as read so what mode line will always
present correct number of unread articles; I tried some hooks like
gnus-mark-article-hook without success. Are there any suitable hooks
for this ?

Also I found that functions mentioned by Kai (gnus-topic-unread etc.)
are not even mentioned in the texinfo documentation, although they are
quite useful.
