Hmm, I don't see such buffers, just group, summary, article and message
buffers. What names do they have? Maybe you configured a variable to get
them? Or maybe I don't see them since access to my imap folders is
denied to gnus right now?

I use the gnus that is shipped with emacs 24.3, and since I don't do any
fancy things with gnus, I would be quite happy with a stable version,
even if not fully up-to-date. 

I wonder how/where to find messages that tell something about the reason
why access is denied (if this info is given at all by the gmail
servers). 

Frustratingly, the .msmtp.log file apparently only logs successful
actions:

,----
| Aug 22 20:55:48 host=smtp.gmail.com tls=on auth=on
| user=foo@gmail.com from=foo@gmail.com
| recipients=foo@gmail.com mailsize=90 smtpstatus=250 smtpmsg='250
| 2.0.0 OK [...] exitcode=EX_OK
`----

the errors would be more interesting, but accessing the gmail servers
and sending mails with msmtp are probably independent steps.
