bug#59587: 28.2; gnus does not retrieve emails sent from another device

[Waleed Yousef]

Thanks again for your time,

I have four emails, three are pop3 and one is imap. I am using nnml. This is my 
gnus.el part:

```
(setq mail-sources `(
                                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
                                            :user "wyousef@fcih.net"
                                            :port 995
                                            :stream ssl)
                                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
                                            :user "wyousef@aucegypt.edu"
                                            :port 995
                                            :stream ssl)
                                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
                                            :user "wyousef@gwmail.gwu.edu"
                                            :port 995
                                            :stream ssl)
                                 (imap :server "mail.uvic.ca"
                                      :user "wyousef@uvic.ca"
                                      :port 993
                                      :stream ssl
                                            )
                                 )
      gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gnus.org")
      gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))

      user-mail-address "wyousef@fcih.net"
      user-full-name "Waleed Yousef"
      send-mail-function                'smtpmail-send-it
      message-send-mail-function        'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-smtp-server              "smtp.gmail.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service             '587
)
```

Another piece of information is that I am using spacemacs, which I do not think 
it will make any difference as its maintainers confirmed to me that they did 
not change anything with gnus


Thanks so much.
