OK, so you have gnus-activate-level set to 1 above which means that `gnus-activate-level' is a variable declared in Lisp. -- loaded from "gnus-start" Value: 3 Documentation: *Groups higher than this level won't be activated on startup. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Setting this variable to something low might save lots of time when you have many groups that you aren't interested in. When you subscribe a group it is set to gnus-level-default-subscribed which is 3 by default. You may gain some mileage out of reading the node Group Levels carefully. -Nevin
