The emacs wiki has a nice write-up that solved it for me.
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail

Here is my .gnus.el entry now:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "freenews.netfront.net"))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods 
             '(nnimap "gmail"
                      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                      (nnimap-server-port 993)
                      (nnimap-stream ssl)))

I used the .authinfo file for username/password.  This was nicely laid
out in the wiki as well.

The last thing was the the Sent Mail and other folders weren't visible
until the default setting for gnus-ignored-newsgroups was modified, as
the wiki said as well.

(setq gnus-ignored-newsgroups "^to\\.\\|^[0-9. ]+\\(\\|$\\)\\|^[\"]\"[#'()]")
