If you don't want to use IMAP why do you add %inbox to your ~/.folders?
Check the manual for folder definitions!

Put your wanderlust config in ~/.wl. ~/.emacs should be a file not a
directory.

Again, this is wrong! setq's are missing. You want:

(setq starttls-use-gnutls t)

Check out wanderlust from cvs and build the documentation:

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/root login
(When asked for password just press enter)
% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/root checkout wanderlust
% cd wanderlust/doc
% texi2pdf wl.texi
% epdfview wl.pdf
