Would be great :)

I don't have such a buffer when I use IMAP (but I do have "*Summary nnimap....."
buffer when I enter any of imap groups). Here is relevant snippet from my setup:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        ..............
        (nnimap "imap"
		(nnimap-address "<server-name>")
		(nnimap-authenticator cram-md5))
        )
