[Running nogus from 3 days ago, on debian linux]

The emacs wiki at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail

Has a bit about how to access gmail accounts by imap.

It shows 3 basic parts to setting up Imap with gmail.

1) enable imap at gmail account (done)

2) set up .authinfo:
  machine imap.gmail.com login MYGMAILUSER@gmail.com password XXXX port 993
  (of course I've used my real email address and passwords)  

3) Chose one of the methods for gnus
   I choose `secondary select' so put this in gnus:

        (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "gmail"
                             (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                             (nnimap-server-port 993)
                             (nnimap-stream ssl)))

Those 3 things are setup as shown.  Is this still up to date and is
this really all it takes?

Should I see something happen with imap when I restart gnus?

I've completed the above items, restarted gnus but see none of my
gmail stuff.  Where can I look for clews.  I tried nntp-log, and gnus
trace buffers but see nothing to do with imap there.

If I open the Messages buffer so I can watch it, and then rescan one
of the imap groups it shows `Quit' right away/

What am I missing or not doing.
