I read several imap accounts with gnus already.
Now I would like to add another mail account from the same server, and I
realize I dont know how to do it.
Any hints apreciated.

The first thing to realize is that the name of the nnimap server can be
independent of the hostname, and it is what is used to look up
login+password in authinfo.
So you can define your two accounts like this:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "one-account"
(nnimap-address "mailserver"))
(nnimap "other-account"
(nnimap-address "mailserver"))))
and then in your .authinfo.gpg, you'll have:
machine one-account login firstlogin password firstpassword
machine other-account login secondlogin password secondpassword
This should give you nnimap+one-account and nnimap+other-account in
Gnus, accessing the two accounts on the same server.
(Exact syntax untested.)
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Adam
