Actually I don't mind what to use. What should I change to start
communicate with gmail via starttls instead of gnutls-cli?

They're this way.

starttls-gnutls-program   gnutls-cli
stgarttls-program         starttls
starttls-use-gnutls       t

I'm afraid gnutls won't work with emacs and on windows, at least from

gmane.network.gnutls.general.
