Use a different authinfo file for each of the two accounts:
> (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
> '(nnimap "name1"
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/name1.authinfo")
> (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")

> (nnimap-stream ssl)
> (nnir-search-engine imap)
> (nnmail-expiry-target "nnimap+gmail:[Gmail]/Trash")

> '(nnimap "name2"
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/name2.authinfo")
> (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
> (nnimap-server-port 993)
> (nnimap-stream ssl)))
The contents of the authinfo files are then
~/name1.authinfo:
machine imap.gmail.com login email1 <at> gmail.com password mypass1 port 993 force yes
~/name2.authinfo:
machine imap.gmail.com login email2 <at> gmail.com password mypass2 port 993 force yes
