Did you already setup auth-source? If Emacs will retrieve the password
from it. Checkout (info "(emacs) Authentication").

You likely forgot to set the user in your imap connections.

Checkout out:
(info "(gnus) Using IMAP")

add imap user here e.g. as in
                  (nnnimap-user "gottfried")

This setting is obsolete and Gnus will pick IMAP search with IMAP
connections anyway.

Same again.

You can set the archive method per connection if you want.
Add something like below:
"Gcc" "nnimap+<connection name>:Sent"

Maybe there's something wrong in this that the message count is wrong.

Mine is:
     (setopt gnus-group-line-format (concat "%M%S%p%P%5y "
                                          (propertize ;(all-the-icons-faicon 
"envelope-o")
                                           (all-the-icons-material "mail")
                                           'display '(raise 0.0))
                                          " : [%T]:%B%(%G%)\n"))
Which looks like this:
