I've noticed that since sometime last week, nnimap seems to log in to
my IMAP servers a lot more often than it used to -- each time I hit g,
or even when entering a group. This means reauthenticating using
starttls and that makes it noticeably slower than before without any
ostensible gain in functionality.
The ChangeLog shows
2002-10-10 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
* nnimap.el (nnimap-open-server): Re-open server if it isn't in
auth, selected or examine state.
May I inquire about the reason for this change?

The reason was that nnimap left servers opened but not authenticated,
which caused Gnus to send various non-login commands to the server. I
might have fixed a flaw in the logic of the patch now though, does it
work better now? Nnimap should of course not re-open servers if it
isn't required.

After installing the patch the nnimap does not reopen servers if not
required. Thank you for the fix.
