I still get the wrong buffer associated with a server, it just doesn't
happen many times now.  I suspect this line:

  (if (not (imap-open nnimap-address nnimap-server-port nnimap-stream
		      nnimap-authenticator nnimap-server-buffer))

in nnimap-open-connection.

Does imap-open have to take a buffer argument?  I would make it always
create the buffer, to be safe, and because reusing the old buffer has
no obvious (to me) benefit.  At some point, it's called with
nnimap-server-buffer set to the wrong buffer but I don't know where.
I do know it happens when many articles are moved sequentially between
IMAP servers.

I'll keep investigating, but if we can eliminate the buffer argument
to imap-open I think that would make life much easier.

Thanks
Ted
