I configured gnus for receiving/sending emails from multiple domains; also, I learnt to customize the group buffer, using the following configuration,
- Create
~/.gnus
(require 'smtpmail)
(setq
user-full-name "<user name>"
gnus-select-method '(nnnil)
gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "outlook"
(nnimap-address "imap-mail.outlook.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl))
(nnimap "yahoo"
(nnimap-address "imap.mail.yahoo.com")
(nnimap-server-port 993)
(nnimap-stream ssl)))

("yahoo.*"
(display . all)
(posting-style

(From "<username>@yahoo.com")
(X-Message-SMTP-Method "smtp smtp.mail.yahoo.com 587 <username>@yahoo.com"))))
