Can't open group while unplugged

It works fine to enter nntp groups, fwiw.

Did you add the server to the list of things the agent should use?
(ie, did you hit "^" then "J a" on the appropriate nnimap server).

The server buffer says "(agent)" after the server (and all nntp
servers).  Gnus was recently changed to automatically agentize all
nntp and nnimap servers which are primary or secondary.

(I started a new account after that Gnus change was made.)
