Hm.  Does it help to frob the server name in ~/.authinfo?  Suppose you
have (nnimap "foo" (nnimap-address "bar") ...) as server definition,
what happens if you put `machine foo' in there?  `machine bar'?  If
you have (nnimap "" (nnimap-address "bar")...), you can only use
`machine bar', of course.

Maybe something like this changed.
