Q4.13 Using an IMAP server 

I want to use Gnus to read messages on an IMAP server. 

Current versions of Gnus do not have any IMAP capability. However, it
is planned that nnimap will be working in qgnus. The current version
of the nnimap code is available, but is very alpha.  Do not bother to
download this unless you are an experienced programmer who would like
to work on it.  It can be found at
<URL:ftp://naiad.fac.cs.cmu.edu/pub/nnimap>

John Prevost <visigoth@cs.cmu.edu> is the person who is maintaining
this;you should speak with him if you wish to contribute to nnimap.

No.  At least, I don't think so.
