Fixed to use read-char.

nnimap's `auth-source-search' query will have the port you specified, so
things will work as you expect. My point is that auth-source.el doesn't
know the right port and has to guess it. The port comes either from the
query or from `auth-source-creation-defaults'. The *only* guessed
parameter inside auth-source.el is the user name, and I actually think
that's also questionable.
