Since clearing my .newsrc and starting over (I could not correct the
article counts otherwise), I have not experienced the problem again.
As Eric wrote in a previous message, that it seems to happen from
time-to-time.

So, this is a known issue that comes-up occasionally.
Clearing the .newsrc is not the best solution, as it also clear other
useful info, such as group levels.
Perhaps, there could be a function -for the nnimap backend- to
reset the article counts for a specific group or server?
