OK, this what I had in my ".gnus.el", since commented out

and this is what was in my ".authinfo"
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#machine sharons mail.gandi.net login sharon@sharons.org.uk password orangejelly
#machine sharons mail.gandi.net login sharon@sharons.org.uk password orangejelly
#machine tgmeds mail.gandi.net login sharon@tgmeds.org.uk password rhubarbandcustard

Every time this was run it asked me for its password as user
"boudiccas" which does not exist for either account, and would not
accept any password I put in for it. Consequently I was locked out
of both accounts, until I took out the "sharons & tgmeds"
immediately after machine, and then I had access to mail from
"sharons.org" again.

That is how my set-up was, and why it didn't work. With your setup it
all works as it should, and I thank you for it.

Sharon.
