Ah, OK.  Now I understand.  I probably would have noticed this sooner
had I not set `gnus-parameters' to '((".*" (display . all))) for my
IMAP folders.  I have changed the regexp there to "^nnimap", which is
what I wanted in the first place.  And now that I have not told Gnus to
always get *all* messages, it will only get unread messages, unless there
are no new messages, in which case it asks me how many old messages to
get.

Thank you very much for clarifying this.
