This is listed in the known-bugs and todo lists. The problem is that
the Gnus respool functions are nnmail-specific, nnimap doesn't work
the way Gnus assume the backend do so they don't work.

We can't remove the 'respool capability of nnimap, because then we
can't copy articles between folders (or some similair function, I
don't remember).
