Thanks, this seems to do the trick.

FWIW, I did manage to reproduce the original problem in a
more orderly fashion. Fresh gnus from CVS this morning.

When starting gnus the first time, only one nnimap server
was present in the server buffer (the proper one). I then
typed C-x m and composed an email. The value of the Gcc
field when composing the message was

Gcc: nnimap:"Sent Items"

After sending this first message, one additional nnimap
server showed up in the Server buffer:

     {nnimap:} (denied)

and no message got stored in the Sent Items folder after
composing and sending a second message. After sending yet
another message, a third nnimap server showed up:

     {nnimap:nil} (denied)

The other two nnimap servers are still there. Sending works,
but copies are not stored.

Kai's solution now makes the Gcc field to be:

Gcc: "nnimap+MY.IMAP.SERVER:Sent Items"

and everything works as expected. I would still say there
is a bug somewhere that causes the creation of these void
nnimap servers, but I don't get bitten by it anymore.
