The server is broken, but latest Oort Gnus should work around the bug,
please upgrade and try.  Do you know which server this is?

(See http://josefsson.org/nnimap/buggy-imap-servers.html#interchange for

Out of curiosity, why did you <snip>?   Was it because the server
returned lots of FETCH lines?  Then it is broken in another sense as well
-- FETCH 1,* should return the lowest AND highest article, not all
articles in between.
