[I meant to send this to the list, since it contains a recommendation
for a change to Gnus, but had actually just sent it to Jason.]

You could use something like what I've attached below.  I think the
third function, which prompts for a group name (with completion) and
selects that group, would be a useful addition to Gnus.  I have it
bound to `J' in both the *Group* and *Summary* buffers, and I use it
all the time.

; move point to the line in the group buffer containing my inbox
(defun jdc-gnus-group-jump-to-inbox ()
  (interactive)
  (gnus-group-jump-to-group "nnfolder:Inbox"))

; select my inbox
(defun jdc-gnus-group-select-inbox (&optional all)
  (interactive "P")
  (gnus-group-read-group all t "nnfolder:Inbox"))

; select an arbitrary group; something like this would be
; great to have as part of Gnus.
(defun jdc-gnus-group-select-a-group (group &optional all)
  "Select newsgroup GROUP.
Interactively, query for group name with completion.
No article is selected automatically.
If ALL is non-nil, already read articles become readable.
If ALL is a number, fetch this number of articles."

  (interactive
   (list (completing-read
	  "Group: " gnus-active-hashtb nil
	  (gnus-read-active-file-p)
	  nil
	  'gnus-group-history)
	 current-prefix-arg))

  (when (equal group "")
    (error "Empty group name"))

  (gnus-group-read-group all t group))
