I'm using a fairly recent CVS version of gnus under XEmacs 21.9.
I'm still experiencing a very long-standing problem, and I thought I'd
try again to see if someone here might know of a fix:
I have one imap group within my gnus configuration. The rest are
standard email and nntp groups which work perfectly. For this
imap group, the message count never updates when I enter the `g'
command in the Group buffer. There are only two cases where the
message count gets properly calculated for this imap group:
(1) When I first enter gnus.
(2) If I specifically enter the summary buffer for this imap group
and then type `g' from within the summary buffer.
My setup for this imap group is quite vanilla, and everything else
about this group is fine: everything else works great.
Has anyone seen this behavior with imap groups under gnus? If so, do
you know of a fix or a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

Is the level of the IMAP groups different than the level of the other
groups?
Is the nnimap server foreign?

Well, *finally* after many months, I solved this problem. It turns
out that when `nnimap-nov-is-evil' is not set, commands such as
`gnus-group-get-new-news' look at the cached overview file to
calculate the article count in `nnimap' groups, instead of causing a
query the IMAP server directly. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a
feature, but in either case, setting `nnimap-nov-is-evil' to `t'
causes my article counts to get properly updated in my `nnimap' group,
just the way I like.
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to help me with this.

This is weird, `gnus-group-get-new-news' (or whatever it calls)
shouldn't look at the overview file at all. Fetching overview files
is quite slow, so it shouldn't be done when looking for new mail.
`nnimap-nov-is-evil' is only used by `nnimap-retrieve-headers', but it
isn't called at all when I fetch new mail. Is it called for you?
Could you debug-on-entry this function and mail me the backtrace?
It's a bug.
