An IMAP login. With nnimap, pGnus is a IMAP client so you would add
another select method to `gnus-secondary-select-methods':

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        '((nnml "")   ;; your current server, don't remove it!
          (nnimap "cyrus"
               (nnimap-list-pattern ("archive.*"))
		(nnimap-stream network)
		(nnimap-authenticator anonymous)
		(nnimap-address "cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu"))))

The nnimap documentation actually use this server as an example.
