Some people see duplicate servers (eg, "nnimap:du" twice) in their
server buffer. One of them is a bogus server. It was created
automatically when some groups had the wrong select method.
The obvious method to find out which one is the right one is to hit
`e', but `e' on the secondary server (from (add-to-list
'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "du"
...parameters.snipped...))) doesn't give any useful data because
secondary servers cannot be edited.
WIBNI there was a command to at least see the parameters of such
secondary servers?
Also it would be nifty if Gnus could prevent such duplicate servers
somehow. Ideas?

I'm kinda wondering at the utility of listing these "known", but
uneditable servers in the server buffer. I think it might make sense
not to display them by default.
On the other hand, I do sometimes `D' a secondary server if it's
sufficiently annoying. So perhaps that's not a good idea.

Yes, that might be nice.

Uhm... it could at least rename the servers in some strange, but
wonderful manner.
