Try going to the buffer " *nnimap* yourserverthathadproblems" (note the
leading space on the buffer name), and kill that buffer.

Then go back to the *Group* buffer and test to see if the `g' command
works normally.

I see this problem occasionally when I forget to unplug Gnus before
putting my laptop to sleep, and then wakening it in a different network
(eg. from work to home).
