I had a similar problem wile I moved my mail from nnfolder to
nnimap. I had deleted several messages in a nnimap folder but Gnus
insisted in showing them anyway.

It turned out to be a problem with the Gnus agent. I could resolve the
problem by simply deleting the News/agent/nnimap folder so that Gnus
was forced to reread the complete contents of my mailboxes from the
IMAP server.

Maybe such a brute force "hack" resolves your problem too.

I would not consider me a guru but if my tip helps it's for good
anyway, I think ;-).

You are totally right. After removing that, everything works fine now.

Could either of you explain what you did to get the agent out of sync?
For example, exactly how was mail moved from nnfolder to nnimap?
Also, if this problem re-occurs, I'd appreciate knowing whether
gnus-agent-regenerate-group fixes the problem without having to delete
the agent folder.
