Um. I have the latter situation i.e. I have specified
(nnimap "" (nnimap-address "bar"))
(and the .authinfo entry is indeed 'machine bar').
I got nowhere by first trying to add 'foo' to the server definition;
any tips on how to proceed? (I guess 'foo' should be a virtual server
name? I wasn't able to access any of the imap mailboxes when I added
the virtual server name to my imap server command).
