I'm sorry, I haven't used the Agent stuff in Gnus at all. I'm not even
familiar with how it works.

All I can say is that nnimap tries to do everything the Gnus manual
requires a backend to do, if that's not enough for the Agent stuff to
work it probably won't work.

It's on the nnimap-todo list to check this though.
