This is a good idea. I still think that people should understand
what they put in their init files, but for simple customizations it
is surely a good idea.
Here is a start:
;; Replace XX with the name of your news server.
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "XX"))
;; IMAP users can use the following. Replace II with name of your server.
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "" (nnimap-address "II")))
;; POP users use the following. Replace XX, YY, ZZ as appropriate.
(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "XX" :user "YY" :password "ZZ"))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
People who use IMAP might also wish to put the following line in their
~/.authinfo files:
machine XX login YY password ZZ
Replace XX with the IMAP server name, same as II above. YY and ZZ
are login and password, respectively.
This far, it's easy. But what to do for more complicated things?
