How did you know that nothing happened?

Does something happen when you (after 11+ minutes) press 'g' in Gnus?

No. Sending emails is independent of receiving.

some (message "blah") calls, look in *Messages* etc. etc.

I'm the wrong person to ask, I have been using Gnus for decades, and
don't like the alternatives.
