This seems like a good start: > [...] I read all the relevant parts of the manual and tried a lot (too much to list that here) without success. Therefor I asked for approaches to debug the case. I already tried a non-nil nnimap-record-commands, but nothing in the "*imap log*" buffer, nor the messages in the "*Messages*" buffer nor the output in the related hidden " *server ..." buffer did help me. Later, I learnd, that at least wanderlust (for which I was able to come up with a working configuration for that IMAP account) complained about that the certificate of the server doesn't match the server name (which is correct) and I needed special configuration to make wanderlust to ignore that. So I followed up with the more specific question, if that certificate problem may be the reason, why gnus refused to work with that account, what I can do to verify this and, if possible, what to do to make it work anyway.
