I am sure there is a simple answer, but ...

If I am looking for newsgroups matching a certain expression, I generally
do 'C-u 10 A M' to make sure Gnus queries the server for groups that I
ignore.  The function correctly queries every server it knows about (nntp,
nnml, nnfolder).  However, when it queries my nnml (mail) and nnfolder
(archive) servers, it actually goes off and attempts to read new mail.  Why
should it do that?

Interestingly, it doesn't seem to browse a foreign server (nntp) that I
have running all the time.  Why might that be?
