The following excerpt from my .gnus.el file specifies various mailboxen: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "") (nnimap "work" (nnimap-address "outlook.office365.com") (nnimap-inbox "INBOX") (nnimap-stream ssl)) (nnimap "google" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl)) (nnimap "yahoo" (nnimap-address "imap.mail.yahoo.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl)) ) gnus-select-method '(nnnil "") ) #+end_src All the other information for each host is in the .authinfo file (user name, password). Start with something like this and then build up, as others have suggested. Note that the main select method is a dummy one.
