imap-debug, imap-log do not do much with emacs 24

[pramble]

I have problems with nnimap under gnus and want to see what is happening.
I put (setq imap-debug t) (setq imap-log t) ...nnimap-debug and nnimap-log.. in my .emacs file.

Under emacs 23 I get the expected log buffers.
Under emacs 24.1 that I just compiled, I do not get the log buffers.

I think I should read the logs before I post a general "help me" question, but my problem is surprising. I have 4 mail sources, all of which do imap over port 993 and use nnimap-stream set to ssl. Three of them work. The fourth gives me an authentication failure after compiling and using emacs 24. I am not using built in gnutls, but emacs is talking via openssl or gnutls-cli. I am using stock gnus.

Anyway, many thanks if anybody could just tell me how to get the log buffers.

Neither variable exists any more.  You can set `nnimap-record-commands'
to get a log buffer now, though.

Thanks.
Unfortunately, all I see is
    09:05:12 [host.somewhere.de] (inhibited)
on the hosts where it works, I see the normal
    09:05:15 [otherhost.somewhere.de] 9 EXAMINE "INBOX"
    09:05:15 [otherhost.somewhere.de] 10 UID FETCH 1:* FLAGS
So authentication is failing before the imap dialog begins.

I am at a loss.
I cannot imagine why this happens under emacs 24, but not 23.
I cannot guess why it happens with one host and not others when
all are using port 993 and ssl.

Many thanks for any pointers where I should look next.

I'm using latest Git Gnus on Emacs 24 on Windows.

When we changed our mail server to Dovecot, I've had hard times finding out
why the connection couldn't be established on port 993 (with starttls, I
think).

Ultimately, I've found out that disabling the package `cygwin-mount' was then
working. With that package enabled, connections failed. No idea why it
conflicts with Gnus!

Best regards,
  Seb

Sorry and thanks for the advice.
The problem lay in the tangle of imap/ldap authentication we
have here.
I still do not know why everything worked under emacs 23, but
something had to be changed under emacs 24.
Thanks again for the advice.
