Subject: Gnus does not connect to my IMAP server any more
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 20:54:32 -0500
Package: Emacs
Version: 24.0.50

When I start Gnus, it seems to try and connect to my IMAP server but
never asks for my password (which I don't save in authinfo.gpg).
In just ends up saying "done", but the *Server* buffer says "offline".
If I try to use O in the *Server* buffer, it switches instantly to
"opened" but if I try to do anything that involves the IMAP server,
I get (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil) errors because nnimap-object
is nil.

The *Message* buffer says:

SM> Here's the update:

SM> - The user prompt says "user blabla: monnier", rather than "user blabla
SM> (default monnier): ".  I.e. the `initial-content' should be empty, and

Thanks, looks fine now,
