I'd probably start with just these gnus-secondary-s-m
'((nnimap "address@hidden"
(nnimap-address "mail.uni.edu"))
(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "...")))
Most probably, that'll just work. Gnus will automatically determine
what's the most secure connection for the servers and use that.

Don't specify a port if not needed. And add a "force yes" as last thing
in each line.

Probably, because you say Gnus to use port 993 with SSL while the
servers prefer something else. As said, start with a minimal setup.

You need to call
(org-contacts-gnus-insinuate)
in your ~/.emacs or ~/.gnus.el to make that working.
