Looks like you're on to something: ((read (1 . 1594) (1596 . 1622) (1624 . 1630) ...

Suspicious of dragons, in fact. Here is a snippet from the *Messages* buffer, when I just started Gnus: --8<-- Wrote /home/gs234/Mail/gnu/bug-emacs/564 Wrote /home/gs234/Mail/debian/devel/4292 Wrote /home/gs234/Mail/debian/devel/4293 Wrote /home/gs234/Mail/gnu/bug-utils/1637 Wrote /home/gs234/Mail/debian/devel/4294 nnml: Reading incoming mail from imap... --8<-- As you can see, the most recent message is the just-arrived 4294.
