I cannot reproduce this anymore in Dovecot after my change which keeps
empty 'unexist' ranges. So the question is why it still happens with
GMail.

@Giorgos: Does it only happen on startup or also sometimes when you
press 'g'?

AFAICS in `nnimap-retrieve-group-data-early', the resync should only
happen when there's either no 'active', 'unexist', or
'uidvalidity'. Perhaps the first step should be to install some verbose
messaging which says which of those triggers the resync.
