From the errors, it looks like the IMAP server is either disconnected
or nnimap.el lost track of it.  Simon will probably look at this, but
you should provide more information:

You should tell us the name and version of the IMAP server.

Also set imap-debug or nnimap-debug (I forget which one is right) to
get a full log of the IMAP commands exchanged between Gnus and the
problematic IMAP server.  That is essential to debugging IMAP problems.
