Hallo Group Members.
When I do M-x gnus,
it always tries to connect to nntp server (that are probably defined gnus-select-method):
gnus-select-method is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
Its value is (nntp "news")
It does it, even when I set:
(setq gnus-select-method `(nntp nil))
I am not interrested gnus-select-method. I use gnus only for email
through imap (secondary methods).
Is there a way to skip nntp server connection.
best regards,
Pawel

I think the correct way should be:
(setq gnus-select-method nil)
And,
(setq gnus-nntp-server nil)

You can also set nnimap to gnus-select-method, then you won't need
gnus-secondary-select-methods at all.

setting these makes secondary methods are not visited at all.

how should I do this? I just replaced gnus-secondary-select-methods
variable with gnus-select-method, but error was produced.
