I tried running gnus-find-new-newsgroups with the method set to the default (gnus-subscribe-zombies). Unfortunately, subscribing to a folder in Gnus causes it to become subscribed *on the IMAP server itself* (I believe thanks to nnimap-request-update-group-status). In particular, gnus-find-new-newsgroups caused all of my IMAP folders to get marked as subscribed on the server, which is definitely not what I wanted. (Fortunately, I was able to restore my subscriptions from backup...) I suppose I could set the method gnus-subscribe-interactively and manually decide whether or not I want to subscribe to each folder in gnus, but this would be very tedious: I have close to 200 folders spread across my various IMAP accounts. I am not (IMAP-)subscribed to the vast majority of these, and I do not want gnus to be subscribed to them either. Do you have any suggestions on how I can have gnus subscribe to just those groups in the output of LSUB / LIST (SUBSCRIBED) [0]? I don't see any functionality for doing so in the code base, so I suspect that this might be a feature request...
