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?
