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,
