Subject: authinfo file and imap

Hello,

I spent almost 2 hours to understand why I could not authenticate
myself on my IMAP server. The source of the problem was that I
didn't include the 'port 143' element on the IMAP line.

Why is this mandatory for IMAP and not for other sources such as
NNTP ?

Regards.
