This sucks....  I want to connect to an IMAP host with gnus.

The manual documentation includes *NO* examples.

I got this far from the variables listed there....

(nnimap "exp-imap"
	(nnimap-address "imap.xman.org"))

When I call up the host I get asked for a username... enter anonymous
(which is what is required on this host)  Then password (none required
so hit enter  --- also tried email address)

Can't connect this way.

Now here is the part that sucks.... I fire up netscape and connect
immediately simply by adding the imap server name and answering
anoymous when asked for username.... hitting enter when asked for
password.

What gives?
