I tried setting up an imap server, and things seemed to work.
But now when I select INBOX (in the Group buffer), I get this very
utterly diagnostic:
nnimap: Group INBOX is not uidvalid. Continue?
This is Gnus 5.8.5 under xemacs 21.4.4 under Red Hat 7.1.
Please cc responses to me, as I'm subscribed to this list.

The error message is disabled in Oort Gnus, patch below.
However, if you use the cache or agent in a group that your IMAP
server decides to re-number (and thus changing UIDVALIDITY), you might
have problems. Problems such as seeing information for one article in
the summary buffer and a completely different message in the article
buffer. But this seem to be rare. Tell us if you experience this, or
any other problem, with the patch.
