I usually try to keep files like ~/.authinfo free of Gnus-specific extensions because other systems may break when they parse it. Another approach is to have a specific authinfo file for each server. I don't like that approach much. Ted> Any opinions? SA> Well, before I used nnimap I used nnml as back end. With this back end SA> and the following snippet it worked like charm.

In fact I'm in the process of writing auth-source.el (it's about 50% finished now) which will unite mail-source.el, nnimap.el, SMTP, and all the other Gnus authentication hooks into one sensible structure. You can look at the auth-source.el code to see what I mean. Currently it doesn't support multiple accounts per server, so it's good you brought up that use case. I've added the necessary code to auth-source.el, and will add server support to netrc.el when we agree on how that should look in ~/.authinfo..
