I finally solved the problem by setting
(setq gnus-agent nil)
Why is the gnus-agent enabled by default for the imap servers ?
Quoting the manual,
"If you have a mail back end, it would probably be nonsensical to have it
covered by the Agent"
and I agree but below on the same page is written
"By default, all `nntp' and `nnimap' servers `gnus-select-method' and
`gnus-secondary-select-methods' are agentized."
It seems paradoxical to me. Imap is a remote mailbox protocol and so I don't
think it should be agentized by default.
