I think that some IMAP servers change the uidvalidity value every time
the mailbox becomes empty.  Maybe you can keep a dummy message in it?
Does that help?

Btw, I think a simpler way to reset uidvalidity is M-x
gnus-group-clear-data RET on that group.

Hm.  And also, I remember that Simon did a change in this area for
Oort Gnus.  Hm.  Ah, here:

/----[ lisp/ChangeLog ]
| 2001-07-06  Simon Josefsson  <jas@extundo.com>
| 
| 	* imap.el (imap-parse-address-list, imap-parse-flag-list)
| 	(imap-parse-body-extension, imap-parse-body-ext, imap-parse-body):
| 	Add information in `assert's.
| 
| 	* nnimap.el (nnimap-possibly-change-group): Ignore uidvalidity
| 	changes. (From nnimaps' point of view, `nnimap-verify-uidvalidity'
| 	and `nnimap-group-overview-filename', should handle all
| 	change-of-uidvalidity related issues.  But there may be other
| 	problems.)

Does it help to upgrade to a version which has this change?
