Do you really get INBOX, or is it nnimap:INBOX, or nnimap+Free:INBOX?
Please be precise.

there?

Ah, oh.  I now remember that nnimap is your primary select method.
Then, of course, you will see INBOX.

Hm.

Please say precisely in extremely long-winded boring detail what
happens.  I don't know what you mean by "nothing".  I'm sure that
Emacs will react in _some_ way when you use C-u RET.

It's supposed to be simple.  It looks as if you did everything right.
I don't know what might be wrong.

Normally, adding (nnimap "" ...) to gnus-secondary-select-methods
should be enough.

The only unusual thing I see is that you put (nnimap ...) in
gnus-select-method, so nnimap is your native server.  Maybe not many
people have tested this.  It has happened before that some things
don't work so well when nnml or nnimap are used as native server.
