Depending on what you're looking for, probably not, but I've noticed quite a few other tools recently that can monitor IMAP mailboxes for new messages, and those should work fine alongside Gnus. It looks like you're using CVS Emacs under Linux, so you might see if your preferred desktop environment has a useful tool for this. With IMAP in Gnus in particular, you have two options, which roughly boil down to "read the mail on the server" (using nnimap) or "grab the mail and read it locally" (using another mail backend such as nnml with an imap mail-source). --dzm
