I've added a fix for this in commit e3f66d7e, which will be in the next 
stable release 1.12.1.  This won't stop the "flags may be wrong" 
messages, but should allow new mail to become visible in the next check.

The "flags may be wrong" message occurs when external deletions happen, 
or external message flags change which could conflict with local 
changes.  It seems likely some other process or client is touching your 
gmail mailboxes, so I encourage you to research that more.
