What *do* you have for list-pattern? I have the following, and this
only tries to read mail from under ~/mail/ directory:

      gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")
				      (nnimap "soup"
					      (nnimap-address "soup")
					      (nnimap-list-pattern ( ("mail/" . "*")))))

I think you should also add "INBOX" (I use procmail to filter out
all of my mail, and nothing gets stored in the default spool file).

I may be missing something out, but what do you mean by cached copy of
the server? Do you mean that you cache IMAP articles? What for?

Edit your ~/.authinfo file (similar syntax to .netrc).

What happens when you do "M-g" on it?
