No, it's an external program. But I'd recommend not to use it for
IMAP if you stay with Gnus.

One pair of brackets in the last line is bogus. `nnimap-user' is not
used; at least in the current Gnus sources. I would use ~/.authinfo
instead:
,----[ ~/.authinfo ]
| # With recent Gnusae, you can write the alias (e.g. "IMAP") here:
| machine IMAP login <username>
| # Else, use the server name:
| machine <mailhost> login <username>
`----
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(;; IMAP server
(nnimap "IMAP"
(nnimap-address "<mailhost>")))
nnimap-need-unselect-to-notice-new-mail t)
Bye, Reiner.
