I am trying to configure gnus to work with my gmail account. My .gnus file looks like this:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gwene.org"))
(setq user-full-name "George P. Burdell")
(setq user-mail-address "[email protected]")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials "~/.authinfo.epg")
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.epg")
)
)
(setq smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl
smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 465)
and my .authinfo.epg file looks like this:
machine imap.gmail.com login [email protected] password secret port 993
machine smtp.gmail.com login [email protected] password secret port 465
and the error that it throws is:

(sorry for wall of text)
finally, when I evaluate this:
(gnutls-available-p)
it simply prints:
nil
I'm running emacs for windows 8, I'm not using cygwin, and I really can't figure out what the problem is, even after seraching for hours.
edit: I've tried both of these (as well as combinations from both) and get the same errors:
My guess would be that Emacs on Windows doesn't come with the required libraries, hence (gnutls-available-p) returns nil for you. You'll have to install gnutls somewhere so that your Emacs will be able to find it, cf. the GnuTLS homepage. You probably have to put the downloaded Windows library into the directory where Emacs is looking for it's libraries.
