gnus: Connecting to an IMAP Server

 
 6.3.1 Connecting to an IMAP Server
 ----------------------------------
 
 Connecting to an IMAP can be very easy.  Type ‘B’ in the group buffer,
 or (if your primary interest is reading email), say something like:
 
      (setq gnus-select-method
            '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com"))
 
    You’ll be prompted for a user name and password.  If you grow tired
 of that, then add the following to your ‘~/.authinfo’ file:
 
      machine imap.gmail.com login <username> password <password> port imap
 
    That should basically be it for most users.
