This means that the server has renumbered the articles. And Gnus remembers stuff based on the article number. So if Gnus has remembered that article 42 was ticked, but this article now has number 23, Gnus will be mightily confused. nnimap can find out about this situation and warn you (which it did), but it can't fix the situation. I think you can kill the group in question, then subscribe it again. (Maybe you have to quit Gnus then start it again before subscribing the group.) This will make Gnus forget everything it knew about the group (except the name, perhaps), and so Gnus will ask for information from the server, and all is fine. Maybe a simpler way to do it is to say M-x gnus-group-clear-data RET on the group. But I don't know what gnus-group-clear-data does. kai -- Beware of flying birch trees.
