Subject: Imap, gmail and gnus

[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.
