How do you mean its own list of groups?  

I just rebooted my machine, fired up emacs with gnus and bam!
Half-a-dozen files were created in my home directory (INBOX.blah,
INBOX.blah1, etc).  I deleted them, thinking gnus must have copied them
off the server, and lo and behold, I now no longer have these groups
either on locally or on the IMAP server...

God, I'm beginning to hate IMAP and gnus...

Why did I ever move away from pop3?  <despairinghowl> I've wasted so
much time... <\despairinghowl>
