One of the features I liked and relied on about the old nnimap was that you
could set the default IMAP user via:

(setq imap-default-user "usethisuser")  ; Do NOT use default `user-login-name'

or, preferrably:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods 
      '((nnfolder "")
        (nnimap "aol"
                (nnimap-address "imap.aol.com")
                (nnimap-server-port 993)
                (nnimap-stream ssl)
                (imap-default-user "nyc4bos")
                (nnir-search-engine imap))))


so that you could have a different default for each IMAP server.

Could this previous feature be added with the new nnimap?

Thanks.
