Are you sure there is new mail for you to see?

You can screw up your .newsrc* files if you're playing with your .gnus
and changing servers.  Not that it's bad to play with it in your
case -- on the contrary, you need to to get your gnus set up properly.

I've had a similar problem (but not with imap) with my local
newserver.  I'd subscribe to groups, and i could read them when i
first subscribed, but not with a new instance of gnus.  I could touch
.newsrc and see all the articles, but otherwise, i could never read
certain groups.  What worked for me was to create a new user and read
news from the new account.  Not a very elegant solution, but it has
worked so far.
