Well i think you would be bug report.
`M-x report-bug-emacs' (with "Cc: larsi@gnus.org")
Otherwise you could check one by one. In my case, i failed with
GNU/Emacs 23.3 with Gnus 5.13. At that time, Gnus did fail to connect to
imap.gmail.com.
Then i did upgrade GNU/Emacs 25.x snapshot. And Gnus did success to
connect to imap.gmail.com.
For now i use Gnus devel version (Ma Gnus) with GNU/Emacs 23.3. Of
course Ma Gnus have no problem to connect to imap.gmail.com.
Again i suggest that you would be bug report with your detail
environments^^
Sincerely,
