It's funny how you'll live with something until someone else reports
the same problem...  In any case, I've had the same issue for months
and I think I have everything configured correctly.  In fact it the
identical configuration worked I pointed to a MailDir, but now that
I'm using IMAP (to gmail, which may be the culprit) it does not work.

Here's the relevant excerpts from my configs:

;;;
;;; mywl.el
;;;
;; set up biff to check mail
(setq wl-biff-check-folder-list '("%inbox"))
(setq wl-biff-check-interval 60)
(setq wl-biff-notify-hook nil) ; was (ding)
(setq wl-biff-unnotify-hook nil)
(setq wl-biff-use-idle-timer nil)

(defun my-new-mail-message ()
  (message "New mail, yo!!!"))
(add-hook 'wl-biff-notify-hook 'my-new-mail-message) 

(wl-biff-start)


;;;
;;; .folders
;;;

Mail{
  %inbox
  /since:30daysago/%[Gmail]/Sent Mail	"Recent Sent"
  /since:5daysago/%[Gmail]/All Mail	"Recent All"
  +trash	"Trash"
  +draft	"Drafts"
  %[Gmail]/Trash	"G-Trash"
  %[Gmail]/Drafts	"G-Drafts"
  %[Gmail]/Starred	"Starred"
  %[Gmail]/Sent Mail	"Sent Mail"
  %[Gmail]/All Mail	"All Mail"
  %[Gmail]/Spam	"Spam"
}
Lists{
  -gmane.comp.python.scientific.devel@news.gmane.org "SciPy Devel"
  -gmane.comp.python.scientific.user@news.gmane.org "SciPy User"
}


Do you think it's due to the fact that I'm using sub-folders/groups in
my folders file?

In any case, this notification used to work and now it does not
indicate new mail, even when I check in manually via the letter icon
in my modeline.

Thanks,
