Cannot read INBOX on Exchange server any longer

Cannot read INBOX on Exchange server any longer

Hi,

I have an nnimap backend connected to an MS Exchange server. It did
work for some time now, but somehow it screwed up my INBOX. I got
uidvalidity errors and now if I try to access the INBOX it always
fails with 'Can't select group'.

The agent is active for the server and killing and resubscribing did
not help. Other folders work fine.

imap log for a select on the folder is appended.

Greetings
		Christoph

Does it help to do M-x gnus-group-clear-data RET on the group?

Uh, did work for one select :-(

Actually it was the agent screwing up: I did remove the server from
the agent, removed the group from the categories file and did remove
all agent files for this server.

Now it works again.

G p on the group let you edit the parameters of the group. There yuo
should delete the uidviality entry and then enter the group again.
