There isn't a conflict, `U', `G m' would still work.

I think we need some kind of improved *Browse server* mode, we can't
work with the current gnus way of listing all available groups since
there is no way we can give gnus a complete list of available groups
(a not uncommon situation with the UWash server is infinitely many
mailboxes because it follows symlinks, I think).

You wouldn't have to go into the server buffer if you know what your
mailbox was called or was one of the imap-subscribed groups, but if
you wanted to browse among the bazillion available mailboxes we have
to do something new.
