You can use (for nnml ; if you need nnimap, adjust accordingly):

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))

(and also tune nnml-* variables if needed)

Or setq gnus-select-method to nnnil, and have a nnml secondary select
method (the display will then be a bit different), along the lines of
the following example (but without nnimap, except if you need it):
