Do you mean that not all the articles you expect to see show up when
you just enter the group?  You may have caught up with those articles;
Gnus does not show "read" articles by default ("read" is an adjective
here, the language can be confusing).  Hit C-u Enter on the group
instead of just Enter and you should see all the articles in that
group.

Also the articles may have been deleted off the IMAP server for some
reason, but I would assume you are just not seeing read articles.
