gnus-activate-foreign-newsgroups is a customizable variable defined in gnus-start.el.gz.

Value

4

Documentation

If nil, Gnus will not check foreign newsgroups at startup.

If it is non-nil, it should be a number between one and nine. Foreign newsgroups that have a level lower or equal to this number will be activated on startup. For instance, if you want to active all subscribed newsgroups, but not the rest, you'd set this variable to gnus-level-subscribed.

If you subscribe to lots of newsgroups from different servers, startup might take a while. By setting this variable to nil, you'll save time, but you won't be told how many unread articles there are in the groups.
