Don't worry about uidvalidity, it is a nnimap hack.  You can delete
it, and with modern nnimap.el I think you could even modify it without
anything happening.  The reason it is there that the nnimap cache, and
the Gnus Agent cache, for the group should be invalidated if the
uidvalidity stored locally ever mismatch the server's uidvalidity, but
this is not implemented.
