Help with GNUS?

Hello!

I've recently gotten back into Emacs, and by extension, GNUS.

I repurposed an old config from a few years ago, but GNUS doesn't appear to
'like' it.

I get the following error in `*Messages*`:

> Warning: Opening nnimap server on rnet...failed: ; Unable to open server
> nnimap+rnet due to: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("rnet" "localhost");
> Opening nnimap server on dev...failed: ; Unable to open server nnimap+dev due
> to: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("dev" "localhost"); Opening nnimap server
> on personal...failed: ; Unable to open server nnimap+personal due to: Wrong
> type argument: stringp, ("personal" "localhost"); Opening nntp server on
> leafnode...failed: ; Server nntp+leafnode previously determined to be down;
> not retrying; Opening nntp server on leafnode...failed: ; Server
> nntp+leafnode previously determined to be down; not retrying; Unable to open
> server nntp+leafnode due to: Wrong type argument: stringp, ("localhost"
> "leafnode")

I think there's been a change in how GNUS parses the select method since I last
used it.

I should explain that I have three IMAP accounts (attached is the GNUS elisp
source) that connect to `localhost:143`, and a NNTP select method (Leafnode)
that connect to `localhost:119`.

In theory - this should work. But I haven't used GNUS/Emacs for so long, that I
am a bit rusty.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
