I had this happen once too (not w/ Exchange, UW IMAP for some
reason). There was a thread on this list about it. Another thing to
remember is to remove ~/News/overview/nnimap.mail.INBOX.novcache. That
hosed me up for a while. Here's my step by step actions:

 1. I C-k the group

 2. Examined ~/.newsrc.eld to ensure it wasn't there

 3. Removed the overview cache file

 4. Started Gnus and did a "G m" to remake the group and everything
 worked.

 Earlier I had done a "A A" and re-subscribed to it. Evidently this is
 different than "G m" the group as the "A A" try seemed to pull out old
 values for somewhere.

Hope that helps.
