To be honest,
i don't know emacs lisp, however i like very so much Gnus,only Gnus!

There are many case:

1. gnus-select-method vs gnus-secondary-select-methods
2. using ~/.gnus instead of ~/.emacs
3. check ~/.authinfo in very detail...

Also i attach real running Gnus file in South Korea.

May the Gnus be with you!
