Hi Sriram,

The following is the section of my init.el which configures gnus, including
a pop3 email interface. I hope this helps you get started.

;; gnus stuff
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "my.newsserver.net"))
(setq user-mail-address "MyName@myaddress.org")
(setq user-full-name "My Name")
(setq gnus-posting-styles 
  '((".*" 
    (name "My Name") 
    (organization "My Organization")
    (signature-file "c:/mysig.txt")
  ))
)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it smtpmail-default-smtp-server 
"my.smtpserver.net")
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "my.popserver.net" :user "myusername" 
:password "mypassword")))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
(setq gnus-message-archive-group "sent")
(setq gnus-permanently-visible-groups ".*mail.misc")
(setq mm-default-directory "c:/temp/")
