in your mail config:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq my/imap-method
`(nnimap "mail"
(nnimap-stream shell)
(nnimap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:$HOME/mail
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap")))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods my/imap-method)
#+end_src
this is setup is robust to no internet connection.
