I just put up a new improved version, it should be easier to use.

It's basicly Jim Radfords work with Emacs 20 fixes, I will apply my
work against it in the weekend. Expect much changes in the next few
days. ;-)

Be sure to remove the old configuration stuff (the webpage has
changed), I think it breaks the new package.

Sorry, another thing in my configuration I didn't document. I have
this in my .emacs:

(set-buffer (get-buffer-create "*im-debug*"))

The debugging won't work without the buffer, and then it breaks
everything.

The imap-process should not be nil, but it is also buffer local to the
imap server buffer, change to a buffer called " *nnimap your.server*"
or something like that (notice the leading space) and then look at the
variable.
