Alright, in what way do you suspect Gnus mail
is incorrectly setup?

Or, do you, or anyone else, have a "minimal
working Gnus setup", for him to try?

He writes that "I've checked Gmane
authentication with another account and it
works there". To me, that sounds like he used
the same setup, only changed the "account" or
e-mail, but obviously I can't know for sure.
