Thanks for your help.

I assume there's nothing useful in *Messages*?

Hmm. I just tried it and had no issues on upload or download. Could you
try setting `gnus-cloud-storage-method' to nil to bypass encoding
altogether? Then try the other methods, to see if the default 'epg
storage method is the issue? If it is, we can focus on the EPG
integration. If it's not, we'll keep digging into nnimap itself.

Thanks again
