Similar setup here ;)

Here is my ~/.authinfo:

machine localhost login gour password xxxxxxxx

and snippet from .gnus:

(setq mail-sources nil)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp  "news.gmane.org")
      gnus-secondary-select-methods
        '((nnimap "localhost-IMAP" (nnimap-address "localhost")) 
          (nntp "news.iskon.hr")))

That's all and it works with dovecot server.

Sincerely,
Gour
