A less popular, but working way is to download mail via IMAP as you
would do via POP. Like that:
(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "yourserver.com"
:user "you@yourserver.com"
:stream tls)))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnfolder "mailserver"
(nnfolder-directory "~/mailfolder"))))
See also (info "(gnus) Mail Source Specifiers").
File ~/.authinfo.gpg will contain credentials:
`machine yourserver.com login you@yourserver.com password <secret>'.
Variable `nnmail-split-methods' directs client-side splitting.
