When this happens, I completely have to restart Gnus, which I find pretty annoying. Stefan Monnier posted a patch to emacs-help which will open a new connection when you interrupt the current IMAP operation with C-g. I've applied this patch to my installation and find it very useful. I think this or something similar should be applied to imap.el, preferably as a customizable option?
