Here's a small patch to nnimap.el which allows you to skip the "Store
password for this session?" prompt. If nnimap-store-password is t, the
password will always be stored and you won't be prompted.
I always want nnimap to store my passwords so this saves me a few
keystrokes.

That's exactly what I want, too. :-)
I already had a (probably very similar) patch in my local copy for
several months, but I didn't commit it yet (lack of docu, ...). I've
committed my patch now.
I couldn't find a suitable place to document the new variable
`imap-store-password' in `gnus.texi'. This is quite surprising,
because we have several defcustoms in `imap.el'. But most (or all?)
of them are not documented in the manual.
Maybe we should another node "IMAP variables" after (info "(gnus)IMAP")?
Bye, Reiner.

The reason is that imap.el is not intended to be Gnus specific.

Ideally there should be a imap.texi manual, but until someone writes
that, it is probably a good idea to start documenting the variables
somewhere. Go for it.
