Thanks for this Eric, it will be useful as I have several imap accounts that I want to use, but how, and where do you call the .authinfo file please? That is my main stumbling block at the moment with setting up my gmail imap account.

In my case, gnus automatically checks for and then reads my .authinfo.gpg file (I have mine encrypted and I recommend you do so as well but it's not necessary).
