This obviously is the right thing to do.

A much inferiour alternative would be to drop the srvc parameter to
the callee and that will make it clear that we are only working on
the singleton 'imap_server_conf' all the time (which is not entirely
incorrect), but I do not think there is no point in making any large
change to this program at this point in either direction.

Yup.  Thanks.
