Yes. In my setup, I have several IMAP accounts set up like so: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "IMAP1" (nnimap-address "xxxx.de") ;....)) (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "IMAP2" (nnimap-address "xxxx.de") ;....)) So the names "IMAP1", "IMAP2" &c. of these servers are not hostnames (the addresses are specified via 'nnimap-address'). In the .authinfo file, the 'machine' field gets the name of the server, ie, machine IMAP1 login xxx .... machine IMAP2 login zzz .... (I should not here that I use Gnus v5.13 in Emacs 23.3.1.)
