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.
