Almost anything, like C-f, C-n, and M-x hanoi?

At least in this message you gave an example -- M-g (I assume in a gnus
summary buffer) -- but even that is very vague.  Is it only with imap (as you
previously implied)?  Does it happen with local (file) mailboxes too?  Pop3?

If you want to report a bug, please give specific examples, with lots of
details!  What may be obvious to you isn't necessarily obvious to the rest of
us; see the info node `(emacs)Bugs'.
