You're confused.

Your Internet provider is not going to give you access to logs.  More
importantly, that's not where the problem lies; those buffers will be created
even if the IMAP server isn't working.  The problem is at your end,
and you need to debug your client to track it down.

If you've set the above variables, and restarted Emacs, then you need to step
through the relevant gnus functions, to see where things are going wrong.

You should put a break in gnus-server-opened.  Check that it's eventually
calling nnimap-server-opened.  Note that nnimap-server-opened will create the
*nnimap-debug* buffer, independent of whether the IMAP server can be
contacted.

Similarly, you should get to gnus-open-server and then nnimap-open-server,
which will actually attempt to open the connection.  By now both the
debug buffers should have lots of information in them.

Again, this is independent of whether the IMAP server can be contacted.
