The "machine" keyword in the .authinfo file can be a little misleading.
Gnus uses it to match the name of the server in the configuration, not
to find the hostname to connect to.
So you can just configure two entries in your secondary select methods
to refer to different lines in your .authinfo.
I.e. you can have something like this in your .gnus:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "onename" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com"))
(nnimap "another" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com"))))
And something like this in your .authinfo:
machine onename login youremail@gmail.com password PASS1 port imap
machine another login otheremal@gmail.com password PASS2 port imap
Best regards,
Adam
