Hello,
I spent almost 2 hours to understand why I could not authenticate
myself on my IMAP server. The source of the problem was that I
didn't include the 'port 143' element on the IMAP line.
Why is this mandatory for IMAP and not for other sources such as
NNTP ?
Regards.

That isn't intentional. Note the various invocations of
netrc-machine-user-or-password with different default ports below.
Perhaps you can edebug nnimap-open-connection (and ultimately
n-m-u-o-p) to see why it isn't getting the proper account back.
(let* ((list (progn (gnus-message 7 "Parsing authinfo file `%s'."
nnimap-authinfo-file)
(netrc-parse nnimap-authinfo-file)))
(port (if nnimap-server-port
(int-to-string nnimap-server-port)
"imap"))
(user (netrc-machine-user-or-password
"login"
list
(list server
(or nnimap-server-address
nnimap-address))
(list port)
(list "imap" "imaps")))
(passwd (netrc-machine-user-or-password
"password"
list
(list server
(or nnimap-server-address
nnimap-address))
(list port)
(list "imap" "imaps"))))

I've been using Gnus+Imap+.authinfo daily for 2 years, I never used
this "port 143" element ...
