Hmm, but `nnimap-credentials->auth-source-search' will prompt for auth
details and save them if none are found, which is the behavior I was
trying to avoid to begin with.
Meh, this probably isn't the right thing to do. The manual specifically
says (about `nnimap-authenticator'):
"Some IMAP servers allow anonymous logins. In that case, this should be
set to ‘anonymous’. If this variable isn’t set, the normal login
methods will be used."
So implicitly short-circuiting the normal login procedure is actually
contrary to the documentation, which says do it explicitly. I'm inclined
to drop this...
