I removed that line and edebugged the two functions and all worked as
expected. In fact, exactly this line triggeres the bug.
The problem is, that in my ~/.authinfo I specified the port as imap (or
now I omit it) and on the gnus side I said 143. So
`netrc-machine-user-or-password' is called with ports = ("143") and
defaults = ("imap" "imaps") which won't find a match.
I think the right fix would be to add "143" and "993" to the call of
`netrc-machine-user-or-password' in `nnimap-open-connection', because
these are the default ports for imap and imaps.
Bye,
Tassilo
