I use nnfolder: for my mail groups. When entering a group, Gnus asks
me how many articles to fetch if there are more than 200 (the
default).
Lately I seem to be getting some odd behaviour, where Gnus says that
there are far more mails than there really are in a group. For
instance, at the moment if I enter the group nnfolder:inbox, Gnus says
"How many articles from nnfolder:inbox (default 751):". When I enter
the group, which has (display . all), I see that there are in fact 66
items, including expirable and read mails. Looking at ~/mail/inbox
seems to suggest that only these 66 articles exist in the file.
'cat ~/Mail/inbox.nov' gives
((expire 505 730 734 738 743 (750 . 751)) (read (1 . 751)) (reply 661
663 670 682 685 707 712 716 728 733 736 739) (tick 731) (save 505))
and doing "G E" on the group gives
("nnfolder:inbox" 1
((1 . 751))
((seen
(192 . 751))
(cache 505)
(save 505)
(expire 505 730 734 738 743
(750 . 751))
(reply 661 663 670 682 685 707 712 716 728 733 736 739)
(tick 731))
"nnfolder:"
((gcc-self . t)
(display . all)
(visible . t)))
Why is Gnus asking me about articles that no longer exist, and how do
I prevent this behaviour?

However, if you _really_ want to send me an e-mail,
replace "nospam" in my address with "aeolia".

I have experienced similar weird behavior in the past. Maybe try to
update the nnfolder backend in the server buffer (^ g).

I have tried this, and it has finished repairing the groups that could
not be entered as a result of me using
gnus-cache-generate-nov-databases etc. earlier, but unfortunately it
hasn't altered the wrong count of the articles in the groups.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. I wasn't aware of this facility,
and it will undoubtedly be useful in future.
