I think the problem is that Gnus does not, by default, re-scan marks
from the IMAP server when it starts up. If you're using more than Gnus,
therefore, they don't know that the other is changing marks. I think
this is a bug, and opened a bug report for it, but haven't gotten around
to trying to cook up a solution.

Another trick is to edit group parameters, delete the "active" cons,
then do a "M-g" on the group.
