Subject: emacs/gnus on windows 7

I am longtime emacs/gnus user on linux who is way confused on windows.

After googling a bit I find so much confusing and possibly outdated material
about setting up gnus on windows that I hopped to ask here for a URL or
directions that are current and I can understand.


After fiddling with the settings in thunderbird it seemed to require these
setting to work:

pop:

               Server: pop.newsguy.com port 110
                 User: XXmyuserXX
  Connection Security: none
Authentication method: Password Transmitted insecurely

==========================================================
        
smtp:
               Server: smtp.newsguy.com port 25
                 user: XXmyuserXX
Authentication method: Normal password
  Connection security: STARTTLS

Where can I find how that translates into `~/.emacs/.gnus' config?
