I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this.

However, I just saw that there was a problem due to changes in
gnus-completing-read in Gnus-git, which broke the selection of the back
end server. This is now fixed.

Yes. The nnmairix server itself doesn't store searches; the nnml:mairix
back end does that.

You can delete those old groups with M-x nnmairix-purge-old-groups.

I don't use the ido-interface, so I didn't realize that. I'll try to fix
this.
