However, if I Hannu> do that, nothing changes --- it still prompts me telling that there Hannu> are 598 articles. How can I fix the problem? Are you sure you've moved *all* the articles? Including dormant, read, etc? Enter the group with - RET (that's a minus, followed by return), then M P a (`gnus-uu-mark-all') and B m. If that doesn't work, create a scratch group, move all the articles to it, then leave and re-enter the original group. Re-entry will only be possible if there are articles remaining to be moved. When no articles remain, move them all back to the original group; there should be no gaps. Other things that may help diagnose the problem - in the group buffer, use G E to examine the group properties. There shouldn't be any references to out-of-range article numbers. If there's a bug, this may help narrow it down.
