Dumb on my part, I realized our server uses 'imap' and not 'imaps'. I
guess the default in gnus
has changed from 'imap' to 'imaps'. Starttls I guess figures out and
does the right thing where as
gnutls-cli barfs if the endpoint does not support secure communication.

Just setting nnimap-stream to network works for me!
