I have nnfolder-get-new mail set to nil. With the present setup only
one of the mail backends should be able to receive mail. Perhaps this
discussion is academic since I don't envision a scenario in which one
would have two groups with the same name in different backends. 

Thanks for the pointers. They've certainly solved my problems.
