The early part of the function is just issuing the LIST command to imap,
and inserting the results into a buffer. Just to make sure that the LIST
command *isn't* returning your folder, step through `nnimap-get-groups'
again, and when you get to the second (goto-char (point-min)), hit "e"
to eval, and tell it (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer)). That should
make visible a buffer with a name like "#<buffer *nnimap PR nil
*nntpd**-44898>". You can see the results of the LIST command there.

If the folder really isn't in that list, then I don't know what to tell
you -- Gnus should be getting exactly the same results as your local
telnet experiments. Are you using dovecot or what?
