Maybe the list pattern is at fault?  What happens when you omit that
entirely?

See variables nnimap-debug, imap-debug, imap-log.  (I think the
documentation for some of these is wrong.  Use a buffer name (three
different buffer names!) as value for all three.)

I didn't mean to set the pattern to "", I meant to completely omit it
from the server definition.  So remove the whole (nnimap-list-pattern
...) stanza.  Does that help?

(Or is removing the stanza the same as setting the list pattern to
"", the empty string?  I don't know, I never set the list pattern.)

I think the server should have.  Do you know which server it is?

Not without modifying the code.
