Another way is to use %L for nn!imap and %c for nnimap which I
accomplished with

(add-hook gnus-select-group-hook 
 (lambda ()
  (if (eq (car gnus-current-select-method) 'nnimap)
      (setq gnus-summary-line-format
	    "%U%R%z%I%5N%[%c: %ub%-20,20f%] %(%s%)\n"))))

Where my default gnus-summary-line-format (for nnml, nntp and nnspool)
is

"%U%R%z%I%5N%[%4L: %ub%-20,20f%] %(%s%)\n"
