i did, and it *almost*  worked: it solved all synchronization problems
but for the inbox folder: new messages to inbox folder still appear as
read, and sometimes they don't even appear; restarting gnus makes them
new again.


the inbox folder is just a  maildir folder as all other ones; the only
special thing i can  think of is the fact that i  often move or delete
messages from  there, so that the  apparent number of  messages is far
bigger than the real one. i could move all the messages to a temporary
folder and  then back again, to  change the article numbers,  but in a
couple of days they would be messed again anyway.


what can be the cause of this sync problem with inbox?

thanks
