I know the OP explicitly does not want to use gmail, however this gmail
solution is *very* concise and should be easily adapted to work with a
non-gmail imap service.
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail#toc2
Just replace the gmail urls and ports with those of the service you want
to use. Also, note that in blocks like the following
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)))
in the 'nnimap "gmail"' portion the "gmail" is just a name, not
something special, and it can be replaced with any arbitrary string.
The starter-kit-gnus page of my starter kit may be helpful, however, it
doesn't provide much new information beyond that available at the
previous emacs wiki page.

Hope this helps,
