I donʼt know what backend itʼs using, but 'G G' with point on an
nnimap group in the *Group* buffer works fine in emacs-29 [1] (and I
donʼt *think* I had to configure anything for that to work).

[1] I have no idea what the official syntax definition is, but stuff
like 'from:rpluim@gmail.com' seems to work OK.
