Oh, I see.  I don't think IMAP is involved.  Can you test without any
IMAP servers, rules, or settings?  I haven't experienced this issue
myself.  It does seem like Gnus is picking up your incoming mail, but
not because of any nnimap-related things.

Sorry I'm not more helpful.  I hope someone else can comment if they
have a better idea of what's happening.
