Is this server specific? I have only

       gnus-select-method '(nnimap "mymail"
                                   (nnimap-stream ssl)
                                   (nnimap-address "imap.myserver.net")
                                   (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
                                   (nnir-search-engine imap))

And it works fine (emacs 23).
