Notice that this is gnus, not rmail.

I am not sure what you mean by codes.

I also have a .auth file. I have this in .gnus:

(setq user-full-name "????????")
(setq user-mail-address "????????@yahoo.co.uk")

(setq rmail-preserve-inbox t)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "gmail"
                                  (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                                  (nnimap-server-port 993)
                                  (nnimap-stream ssl)))

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "yahoo"
                                  (nnimap-address "imap.mail.yahoo.com")
                                  (nnimap-server-port 993)
                                  (nnimap-stream ssl)))

(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.mail.yahoo.com" 587 nil nil))
      smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.mail.yahoo.com" 587 
"????????@yahoo.co.uk" nil))
      smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
