Actually, they're not always correct there either – my INBOX currently
has one message in cur with UID 67:

$ cat .Maildir/INBOX/.uidvalidity 
1484944233
67

$ cat .Maildir/INBOX/dovecot-uidlist 
3 V1484949311 N68 G9afa571227878258553300006656e48d
67 W18869 :1485162486.975_430.tenkjepadda,U=67

but when I do ^, *Gnus Browse Server* shows 67 as the message *count*:

      67: INBOX

while *Group* currently says

      1028: nnimap.fmmbsync.INBOX

This is the secondary-select-method, by the way:

 '(nnimap "fmmbsync"
    (nnimap-address "localhost")
    (nnimap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:$HOME/.Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap")
    (nnimap-stream shell))

Dovecot has

  mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir/:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/.Maildir/INBOX
