Anyone with working nnimap => gmail

[Harry Putnam]

I hope someone can coach me a bit.  I've set gnus up to use imap
accessing gmail account using the secondary select method:


  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "hputnam3"
                                  (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                                  (nnimap-server-port 993)
                                  (nnimap-stream ssl)))


And I am able to subscribe to certain of the offered mailboxes.  But
then some do not appears on the list of subscribable groups.  And
others that do not appears on the gmail interface at all, DO appear on
gnus interface.  In particular, one named:

     `34: [Gmail]/All Mail' 

shows on the subscribeable list but is not visible on the actual gmail
interface.

Any that I have created thru the gmail interface do not show up as
subscribeable.  Is it normail to have to add them to the active list
for nnimap?

Further yet.  I see odd happenings... for example I have a new mail in
the accounts INBOX when viewed from firefox, which I have set to show
gmail inbox on my homepage.  I haven't opened or in any way accessed
that message, yet it does NOT appear in my gnus nnimap setup.

This particular message has been there about 3/4 hrs.

Does this sound about normal to other users.
