I proposed a patch in February that would make "default" the default server name when no --group option, or one without a slash, is passed to imap-login or pop3-login. I don't (or didn't) think this has to do with the config file format. I think the patch is still valid, at least against the latest Debian source package.

The workaround is thus to add --group=default/imap to the command line.

Thanks. The patch itself didn't make it work with alpha3 but it gave a good starting point for me. I did several fixes and now the CVS version runs again from inetd. No --group needed, and --ssl isn't needed anymore either for imaps and pop3s ports since it's automatically detected and enabled.
