I've also found that pressing arrow-up or other char's gives an error
"Not printable character" or something. It also should be easier to
C-g out of username/password-questions (you have to C-g twice now, I
think).

Cosmetics, but they should be fixed.

Sorry, I screw up. Now 0.3.8 will be 0.3.8 + some tweaks to allow you
to specify username/password when specifying the backend.

Done.

One thing that will probably prevent anyone that follows the
instructions to get it to work is this:

	nnimap uses imap-current-server for "current-server". This is
	fine if server machine == Gnus server. This is not always the
	case (not in the examples on the web page for instance..) so
	this breaks.

I'll fix it.
