Thanks for the reply., I am on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu).

These are the things I tried.

- installed dovecot
  ,----
  |   sudo apt-get install dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
  `----

- edited /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
  ,----
  | mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
  `----

- restarted dovecot
  ,----
  | raghava-note:/ $ sudo service dovecot restart
  | dovecot start/running, process 8639
  `----

- confirm dovecot is running
  ,----
  | raghava-note:~$ ps auwx | grep dovecot
  | root      8639  0.0  0.0  17304  1316 ?        Ss   17:40   0:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
  | dovecot   8645  0.0  0.0   8824   896 ?        S    17:40   0:00 dovecot/anvil
  | root      8646  0.0  0.0   8948  1036 ?        S    17:40   0:00 dovecot/log
  | root      8648  0.0  0.0  11004  3116 ?        S    17:40   0:00 dovecot/config
  `----

  followed this guide to test the installation
  http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation

  So far so good. (how to authenticate from client to dovecot then?)

- Gnus Setup

  ,----
  | (setq imap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap")
  |
  | (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
  |              '(nnimap "localimap"
  |                       (nnimap-address "localhost")
  |                       (nnimap-stream shell)))
  `----

- ~/.authinfo (I think this is not the way to do it)
  ,----
  | machine localhost login SystemUserid password systemPassword port 143
  `----

- Finally enter into Gnus.

  I am getting following warning 
  ,----
  | Warning: Opening nnimap server on localimap...failed: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
  | ; Unable to open server nnimap+localimap due to: Buffer  *nnimap localhost nil  *nntpd** has no process
  `----

  *Server* buffer
  ,----
  | {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
  | {nndraft:} (opened)
  | {nnml:} (opened)
  | {nnimap:yagmsc} (opened)
  | {nnimap:localimap} (denied)    <------------------------
  | {nntp:news.gmane.org} (opened)
  `----

  
Probably I am missing auth setup for the dovecot.


Thanks.,
