It should only forget the password if the virtual server is closed (ie
`C' in server buffer), if the IMAP server closes the connection it
should automatically re-open the connection and re-use the
credentials. Credentials are stored in variables `imap-username' and
`imap-password' inside the " *nnimap* yourservername" buffer. Could
you see if the variables are properly set in the buffer?
