What's the select method for your "imap/metis.3x" group? (`G e')

My guess it differ from the one specified in
`gnus-secondary-select-method', and if it does, Gnus create a
temporary server for that group only.

I'm not sure about the first server though. Are you able to reproduce
this situation with some step-by-step instructions from a fresh (ie no
references to nnimap in .gnus or .newsrc*) configuration?  Problems
like this seem to pop up for several new nnimap users but I can't tell
what's causing it.

No.

There hasn't been any changes in this area since the 5.8.3 release.
