Yes there're two others servers having a group name Inbox:

a) The virtual server I setup to read the cached/persistent articles.
Here is how it's configured:

(nnml "cache"
      (nnml-directory "~/News/cache/")
      (nnml-active-file "~/News/cache/active"))

I checked there to see if it contains the missing mail but it doesn't have them.

b) The mairix server. But if I tried to look into the Inbox group of
that server, Gnus tells me:

"Couldn't request group nnml+mairix-ephemeral:Inbox: Invalid group (no
such directory)"

I have several occurences of "Inbox" in this file:

(setq gnus-newsrc-alist ... ("nnml:Inbox" 1 ((1 . 2616))...)
(setq gnus-killed-list ... "nnfolder:Inbox" ... "nnml+mairix:Inbox" ...)
(setq gnus-topic-topology '(.... (("Inbox" visible nil nil)) ...)
(setq gnus-topic-alist '((... ("Inbox" "nnml:Inbox"...)...)
