You probably still have to subscribe to the mail folders you like.  I
did that by typing "U" in the group summary buffer and then entering
in the names of the folders like this:

        nnimap+cow:mail/nnimap-in

That subscribed me to the folder "nnimap-in" on the IMAP server "cow"
in "$HOME/mail".  cow is defined in my .gnus file with the
gnus-secondary-select-methods function:

    (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
    	  (cons 
    	   '(nnimap "cow"
    		    (nnimap-address "123.456.789.10"))
    	       gnus-secondary-select-methods))
    
But TIMTOWTDI.
