I have this:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnimap "Maison"
 (nnimap-address "my.server.net")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
 (nnimap-authenticator login)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/jean/.authinfo"))))

Not everything is necessary, but the second line is; this is where you put
the internet name of the imap server. The name after "nnimap" on line 1 is
internal to your box.

Cheers,
