Gnus wrong unread count with Gmail

[Valentino Volonghi aka Dialtone]

Hi, I'm trying to use GNUS 5.13 (with Emacs 23) to view my mail under
Gmail but right now I have an issue with one of the imap mailboxes I
have under it.

Basically it's showing the wrong unread count together with removing
the mark for ticked mails from the group list. Basically right after
startup the group list is the following:

*        0: INBOX
...

Then I press 'M-g' on the INBOX and it becomes:

         3: INBOX

(note the missing *) Then I press 'g' again and it goes back to the
first result. I tried looking into *imap-log* and I think there is
something slightly off...

If I look at imap logs for the 'M-g' case I see the following:

517 NOOP
517 OK Success
518 UID SEARCH UNSEEN UNDELETED

529 OK Success

Answer to line 528 tells GNUS that there are 3 unseen messages and it
is correctly reported, there are also other places where UNSEEN 3 is
reported. If I see at the logs when I press 'g' however I see the
following:

528 OK Success

There are 3 IMAP accounts in this GNUS and all of them have a mailbox
named INBOX, 2 of those are empty, the excerpt above is from just the
gmail one. From these logs it appears to me that the server still
tells GNUS that there are 3 unseen messages. The main difference
between the 2 seems to be in this lines:

527 SELECT "INBOX"
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)]
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 2]
* 8295 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 3]
* OK [UIDNEXT 13986]
527 OK [READ-WRITE] INBOX selected. (Success)
528 STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN)
* STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN 3)

and

571 EXAMINE "INBOX"
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()]
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 2]
* 8295 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 3]
* OK [UIDNEXT 13986]
571 OK [READ-ONLY] INBOX selected. (Success)
572 FETCH 1,* UID
* 1 FETCH (UID 14)
* 8295 FETCH (UID 13985)
572 OK Success
573 STATUS "INBOX" (UIDNEXT)
* STATUS "INBOX" (UIDNEXT 13986)
573 OK Success

For some reason instead of asking STATUS "INBOX" (UNSEEN) it asks for
STATUS "INBOX" (UIDNEXT), considering that before it was answered that
* OK [UNSEEN 3] it shouldn't happen. What am I missing here?

Thanks for any answer.
