As Tassilo already said, turn the agent off and delete the agent files
still in ~/News/agent. Next, you could try to set the server variable
nnimap-nov-is-evil for your nnimap server definition and also delete all
overview files for the server (usually
~/News/overview/nnimap/SERVER). (I think all of this is safe to do, but
better keep a backup when deleting stuff from ~/News).
