Maybe it's backend specific (?) I checked that function/key some time ago on nnimap backends, but it didn't seem to work. Checked again now, and this time it does, i.e. /N really fetches new articles from my imap server without completely rebuilding the summary buffer. Cool so far. On the other hand, the following snippet from the info manual `/ N' Insert all new articles in the summary buffer. It scans for new emails if BACK-END`-get-new-mail' is non-`nil'. is somehow confusing since I've never set nnimap-get-new-mail, nor is it referenced in any of the Gnus lisp files. So could be some backends need it and others not. Maybe setting that variable changes the /N behavior for OP? Regards, Bruno.
