Hi,

I don't know if this could help, but i'm reading my gmail's account mail
using gnus, but not directly: i use fetchmail to download the inbox from
pop.google to my /var/mail/user and then simply read it with gnus. When
i send a mail, i just put my gmail address in the "From" field, and
emacs sends it with mail, so it looks to the receiver i mailed whith my
gmail account.
I'm sure this technique has some limitations, but at least it works fine
for me, and seemed way easier (at least at the time i did it) than
configuring emacs for gmail.
