I'm in the process of configuring Gnus to retrieve emails from my gmail account via IMAP. I have done as recommended at https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail, however I keep on getting errors from Gnus upon startup:

I have GnuTLS installed and gnutls-cli seems to work with imap.gmail.com:993, I'm getting "OK Gimap ready for requests".
Here's my ~/.gnus:
;;
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nnimap "gmail"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)
(nnir-search-engine imap)
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")))
(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587
gnus-ignored-newsgroups "^to\\.\\|^[0-9. ]+\\( \\|$\\)\\|^[\"]\"[#'()]")
My ~/.authinfo looks like this:
machine imap.gmail.com login [email protected] password my_password port 993
machine smtp.gmail.com login [email protected] password my_password port 587
What could be the problem?
