Or maybe this makes more sense: "group" means that is only groups some
settings. It doesn't create a server. "server" creates a server.

1. Simply provide default settings for any subgroups without doing
anything themselves:

group imap {
  protocols = imap
  # some IMAP defaults for a/b
  server a { ... }
  server b { ... }
}

group pop3 {
  protocols = pop3
  # different POP3 defaults for a/b
  server a { ... }
  server b { ... }
}

2. Are servers themselves, providing defaults for subgroups:

server main-server {
  # defaults
  login {
    listen = main.server.org
  }
  auth default {
    # ...
  }
  server debug-server {
    login {
      listen = debug.main.server.org
      auth_verbose = yes
    }
    # possibly a few other settings changed
  }
}
