The answer to your question depends on wherefrom said email is to be
fetched.

The minimal example of a .gnus for this purpose is this:

 ; Gnus for email, basic setup: 

 ;  Change (nnnil "") to (nntp "your.news.server") if you want to read 
 ;  news as well: 
 (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) 

 ;  Get email from the local machine:
 (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) 

Email will be put in the group called nnml:mail.misc, to which the
user should subscribe.

This assumes that the email one wants to read is present at the
computer on which Gnus is run.

If that is not the case, Gnus must be told where to get the email and
by what means. Please note that this is not specific to Gnus but a
general trait of all email-programmes.
