Sorry for the lull. The last month has been particularly distracting. One thing that has been bugging me over the last month, during which I lived in email a lot, is the inconsistency in presentation between my personal mail and my Gmail caused by not having them both declared in gnus-secondary-select-methods. So let's fix this without re-declaring the configuration of my personal mail. 

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      (cons gnus-select-method
            gnus-secondary-select-methods))

A minor change, but now all of my mail folders are properly prefixed with the nnimap+<name> specifier, instead of only the Gmail folders appearing that way. We also need to unset the primary select method, otherwise having the same server specified twice could get confusing. We do this using the nnnil backend which acts as a dummy. 

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
