Interesting.  So expunging does nothing?  And there's one tag per
message?  I don't know if this is against the IMAP RFCs, but I would
guess it's unorthodox compared to the other IMAP implementations out
there.

GMail is a big player, so people who use its IMAP service should
probably contribute a working setup to the Gnus manual.
