Mailbox foo modified -- for all groups?

Mailbox foo modified -- for all groups?

[Kai Großjohann]

When I say `g', it tells me `Mailbox foo modified' for many different
groups foo, including many that haven't changed in a year or so.  A
subsequent `J s' then fetches headers for all those groups (it
seems), which takes quite a while.

How come Gnus thinks these groups are modified, and is there a way to
tell it they aren't, and can the agent skip trying to fetch headers
for them?

Using a Cyrus 2.1.9 and a Cyrus 1.6.x server.

Did you frob nnimap-retrieve-groups-asynchronous?  The code works by
comparing UIDVALIDITY and UIDNEXT, and if any of those has changed,
the message is printed.  Perhaps edebugging nnimap-retrieve-groups
helps?

It has the value t.  I don't think I frobbed it.
