I've now added a section called "Getting Started Reading Mail" that
just mentions `gnus-secondary-select-methods' and
`nnmail-split-methods'.  

A hyper-short version on reading mail with Gnus is:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "private")))

That's it, really.  nnml will snarf all new mail and you'll be
subscribed to a group called "nnml:misc.mail" that carries all your
mail.

(The manual elaborates a bit more on this, though.)
