Could it be that an .overview or .marks file, that nnml stores in each
folder, got corrupted?

  $ ls -l Mail/normal/.overview Mail/normal/.marks 
  -rw-r--r-- 1 asjo asjo    6032 Feb 15  2012 Mail/normal/.marks
  -rw------- 1 asjo asjo 5606188 Aug 25 21:49 Mail/normal/.overview
  $ 

It's a long shot, but was what sprung to mind as another place that Gnus
stores state for nnml.

I think there is a function to update/rebuild them, but I don't remember
the last time I had to use it.


  Best regards,

    Adam
