I had similar problems at the beginning. As far as I can remember, it worked after I deleted (renamed) ~/.newsrc and ~/.newsrc.eld. But you have to subscribe to all groups again and re-create your topics if you do that. But this takes only a few seconds. Just open the server buffer with "^" enter the servers (RET) and hit "u" on every relevant group. Your imap-Server MUN should show all folders extant on the server as groups ready to be subscribed. You can create new imap-folders by hitting "G m" in the summary buffer. Type in a name (e.g. "Important") RET nnimap:MUN RET. Hit "G del" if you want to delete a folder. I still don't know how I should configure expiry. I would like to delete the mail in some folders by hand (in case of folders where I keep messages that still demand action), while the usual inbox should delete its contents automatically after some 30 days.
