Getting IMAP to work should be very easy - perhaps easier than you
think. I do not have any list patterns at all. My secondary select
methods look exactly like this:

        (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote (
                (nnml "")
        	(nnimap "server_name" (nnimap-stream ssl))
        )))

Nothing else. The IMAP folders I want to see in Gnus are subscribed
later in the server buffer.
