I found the following in some forum thread (but can't remember where):
Add a function to your .gnus.el

(defun gnus-browse-imaps-server (server)
        "Browse a mail server in Gnus via IMAP-SSL."
        (interactive "sServer name: ")
        (gnus-group-browse-foreign-server
          (list 'nnimap server
             (list 'nnimap-address server)
             '(nnimap-stream ssl)
             '(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*" "Mail/*" "INBOX.*"))
             '(nnimap-expunge-on-close ask))))

I have actually changed the list pattern to ("*" "*/*") which works for
Google Mail. After calling M-x gnus-browse-imaps-server you will be
asked for the server. You will then get a list of folders to which you
can subscribe.
