I did see such behaviour at one point. But in my case all new mail was marked as read. It turned out to be a rogue entry in ~/News/cache/active for the nnml group I use to preview new mail. I removed that entry from ~/News/cache/active and the behavior stopped. Later on (days) it reappeared in ~/News/cache/active and I removed it again. Never did see what caused that particular group to show up in that active file. Several cvs updates later I haven't seen the behavior now for a couple weeks. PS- I don't use nndiary and never did. PPS- As a timely test for your current problem, you can view the new mail files that gnus creates for you in ~/Mail/Incoming* with G f (nndoc) to see what was actually collected in a retrieval by `G f Mail/MOST_RECENT_Incoming*'. Unless you've turned it off with: (setq mail-source-delete-incoming t)
