This isnt really a gnus problem. If you use *any* mail or news client
you ahve to know these settings: even _Outlook Express_ requires you
to set these yourself. People keep telling you that there is no
commands to do what you want. you just have to know.
What email prog do you use at the moment? why not look at the values
you use in that program?

Configure a mail client (eg gnus) with your guesses.
run the mail client
see if you can read news/mail
if not, try a different guess
