How is Gnus going to find the relevant .authinfo-line for those select
methods?

The only thing that differs is the name, and how would Gnus know to
partially match that with the "login" field in the .authinfo file?

> machine imap.gmail.com login hputnam3@gmail.com password xxxxxxxx port imap
> machine imap.gmail.com login harrygp3@gmail.com password xxxxxxxx port imap

The manual should be more explicit about how this is handled, I think.


  Best regards,
