That's correct. It turned out to be a mess after a while. When I was
sure I had the 'right' .gnus file, I removed .newsrc and .newsrc.elm
and started all over. Now I have a well functioning 'list' of groups
from different servers (imap/nntp).

I did *not* see the servers at first. Only muy imap server was
opened. Only after "A A" all other servers were opened. That was the
confusing part of it. :)

Thanks for the explanation. I get the feeling I will be learning and
learning and learning for quite some time using Gnus. But I like what
I've seen so far. It's always hard to change old habits. Years of mutt
/ slrn / vim but I want to change, so I have to practice.
