There's no news server at my work so I've made gnus-select-method
connect to our (shudder) Exchange server:

  (setq gnus-select-method
        '(nnimap "hemi"
                 (nnimap-address "ourserver.example.gov")
                 (nnimap-stream ssl)
                 ...))

But there's some flakiness: some groups are duplicated in my *Group*
buffer:

  INBOX/list/ice-dev
  nnimap+hemi:INBOX/list/ice-dev

I have LOTS of such duplicated groups and thus messages.  My *Server*
buffer shows the one IMAP server:

  {nnimap:hemi} (opened)

in addition to nnfolder, nndraft, and nndoc servers. 

If I read a msg in one of the group-variants (e.g.,
INBOX/list/ice-dev) I see it also in the other group-variant (e.g.,
nnimap+hemi:INBOX/list/ice-dev).

Am I doing something wrong in my source specification?  Is it
inappropriate to use nnimap as the primary gnus-select-method?  If I
should use gnus-secondary-select-method for nnimap instead, I can't
find a way to tell gnus-select-method not to try any news/mail server.

Suggestions? 

Thanks.
