Maybe setting gnus-agent via gnus-parameters or topics-parameters, like

(setq gnus-parameters
 '(("imap.*\\|nndoc.*"       ;; select group with a regexp 
    (gnus-show-threads nil)  ;; set some variable
    (gnus-agent t))))

I must say that I encountered problems with imap and gnus-agent set to t,
(deleted messages never going away from the summary buffer) 
and I am not the only one, from what I can see in this newsgroup.
So I don't recommend it.
