I think that nnimap groups should get the same (reddish) colors as
nnml groups in the Group buffer.
Right now, nnimap groups get the same (greenish-blackish) colors as
nntp groups.
Opinions?

This is because nnimap is a mail and news backend (e.g. it's possible to
read Usenet via IMAP), and Gnus have different colors for mail and news.
Since I think some logic depend on that property, it´s not a good
idea to change nnimap into only a mail backend to get the same colors.
You could customize the colors though...
Perhaps the difference between mail and news backends should be
abolished? I´m travelling without my Gnus (though there are some llamas
outside the door) so I can´t check, but I remember the differences were
quit small, so they might be better solved by some less hardcoded logic.

I was proposing to change the default value for gnus-group-highlight.
Right now, it first checks for (not mailp) and then assigns the
greenish-blackish colors. Later, it assigns the reddish colors. I
propose to reverse the order and the check, so that it first checks
for mailp and then assigns reddish colors. Later, it should assign
the greenish-blackish colors.
For a news-only or a mail-only backend, this means no change. But a
news-mail backend used to be treated like a news backend with the old
value and should be treated like a mail backend with the new value.
I'm guessing that most people think of nnimap as mail and therefore
expect mail-like highlighting.
Opinions?

I have now made the change: mail and post-mail backends get the
reddish colors, other backends get the greenish-blackish colors.
This means that nnimap groups now change color.
