[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi there!

I do not remember the first time I experienced this bug, but it randomly
happens since about a month.

All my emails are on a Dovecot IMAP server (Debian lenny), which does
not seem to have any problem when I access it via Mutt.  With Gnus,
however, when I move 2 (or more) sent emails from `nnml:mail.sent' to an
`nnimap:' folder, sometime I get the following error:
=====
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
  gnus-add-to-range(((1 . 1196)) (nil))
  gnus-summary-move-article(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-move-article nil nil)
=====

What is strange, however, is that the emails are actually moved, as
indicated in the `*Messages*' buffer:
=====
Moving to nnimap+Server:people.NameSurname: (12585 12584)...
=====

Another confirmation is given by the fact that if I exit the `*Summary
nnml:mail.sent*' buffer, I call `gnus-group-get-new-news' in the
`*Group*' buffer and then re-enter the `*Summary nnml:mail.sent*' buffer
the email that has caused the debug error is no more there, but instead
I can find it in the `nnimap:' folder I moved into.

As I wrote at the beginning, this happens from time to time and until
now I was not able to find a recurring pattern or a test case, sorry.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Hi there!

Stupid me, sorry for the wrong title when submitting, fixed.

I just discovered that there is an `*imap log*' buffer:
=====
23:02:56 16070 APPEND "people.NameSurname" {1922}
23:02:56 16071 EXAMINE "people.NameSurname"
23:02:56 16072 UID SEARCH HEADER Message-Id "<NNNNNNNNNN.fsf <at> gismo.pca.it>"
23:02:56 16073 SELECT "people.NameSurname"
23:02:56 16074 UID STORE 1196 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen)
23:02:56 16075 EXAMINE DOES.NOT.EXIST
23:02:56 16076 APPEND "people.NameSurname" {1888}
23:02:57 16077 UID SEARCH HEADER Message-Id "<NNNNNNNNNN.fsf <at> gismo.pca.it>"

The IMAP server isn't saying what the new article number is, so this
code is failing.  I've now added a check for this situation.
