One cannot practically use gnus without stepping through functions.  This is
why mu4e has effectively halted new gnus adoption.

Send yourself a mail to a good inbox.  `C-u C-M-x` on
`nnimap-request-group-scan`.  Then `M-g` on the group, and SPC step to see how
it's supposed to look.

Now do the same for the problematic inbox.  Inspect variables and function
calls with `e variable-or-function-call RET`.

`C-M-x` on `nnimap-request-group-scan` to turn off debugging.

This general strategy holds you in good stead for your entire
emacs lifetime.  Google around for more (onerously longwinded) info.
