The setup of gnus for gmail is quite simply:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com"))
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
#+END_SRC
and in ~/.authinfo.gpg:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
machine imap.gmail.com login <username> password <password> port
imap
machine smtp.gmail.com login <username> password <password> port
587
#+END_EXAMPLE That is enough to get and check mail (M-x gnus) and
send mail (C-x m). Since it is imap, nothing is kept locally so
whatever you do in gnus is reflected on your phone and vice versa.
One thing that bears mentioning is that gnus treats mail as news
so it won't show you by default already read messages (like most
mail apps), hit L to show all groups (as opposed to l for only
groups with new messages) and enter the INBOX group to see all
previous messages.
Best,
