nnimap can't tell if a group is "new" or not, since IMAP mailboxes
does not have creation dates attached to them, as nntp have. Listing
all mailboxes and comparing with a old list wouldn't work either,
mailbox lists can be infinite in IMAP.
Mailboxes that are created by Gnus/nnimap itself might be returned,
but that only solve a small part of the problem so I haven't bothered
doing so.
Non-generic solutions (such as returning all mailboxes available,
which could work for small-size Cyrus IMAPD installations) could
perhaps be added to solve the problem for some people?
