Hi,

Here is a patch that permits a Gnus/nnml user to define the name of the
buffer for IMAP communication.  Like this, for instance:

(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "example.com"
                           :stream tls
			   :buffer " *imap example.com*")))
                           
Doing so, said buffer will be kept connected for the entire Gnus
session.  FWIW, I'm using it right now and it seems like a quite
effective way to speed up mail retrieving (even better with multiple
IMAP servers).

I have no use for this myself but I guess that this feature could also
be extended to POP servers.

Hi,

Please consider this new version instead in which I simplified
`nnml-request-close' a bit.
