Nnimap shouldn't do UID FETCH 1,* (UID) fetches at all (and we're
trying to come up with a solution to this) so I think I'll wait until
I apply your patch.

Can't you use nnimap-list-pattern to limit the number of uninteresting
groups instead?

The message counts aren't stored between Gnus sessions, so this is
hard to do. Gnus need the min/max values every time it starts.
