Hi,

I use Gnus to read mail from an Exchange server at work.  Suddenly an old
folder has appeared in Gnus with, apparently with over 80 unread messages.
However, I cannot open this folder within Gnus.  If I look at this folder,
which is from 2018, via Outlook, I see less than 20 messages, all of which
have been read.  If I run catch up in Gnus, the folder is show as having no
unread messages, but as soon as I check for new news, the same number of
unread message appears again.

Any ideas what might be happening?

Cheers,

Loris
