Aaaarghh!  Just as I was becoming semi-happy with IMAP, I decided to
rearrange my folders.  Now I have zillions of imap servers opened; one
for each of my folders.  I just had to login into every single one of
them.  My elation has quickly evaporated.

I am sure I didn't do things The Right Way(TM), of course not, it's
not documented!  It was suggested to me that I read nnimap's
documentation.  Right! great advice: where is it?  I can't seem to
find it in the release, nor in my last update from the CVS tree.

How do I put things right again?  I want these bogus servers to go
away, all of them, and never come back.  I also want to know how to
rearrange my folders without being catapulted into IMAP hell.

The weekend being almost over, this is becoming kind of really urgent
now.  Somebody save me, please?

Cheers,
