Hm.  Well, the reason was what you said -- .authinfo is for nntp.  But 
I think we should extend it to allow naming port numbers.

I've now done this -- it's backwards-compatible, but
`gnus-netrc-machine' now takes a port parameter, and nnimap should
supply an "imap" parameter for it to work.  (It defaults to "nntp" as
the port number.)

Could someone extend the mail-source imap thingie to use it?
