I use the following (one line only) for each authinfo file:
machine mail.ossh.com login USERNAME password PASSWORD port 993
You should create a seperate ~/.imap-authinfo file for each imap
server and specify it as shown:
(nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/billyoc/.imap-authinfo-lfs"))
(nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/billyoc/.imap-authinfo-dps"))
Hope that helps.
