mail-sources defaults to ((file)), which means Gnus will try fetching
email from the local file system (/var/mail/LOGIN on most machines):
,----[ C-h v mail-sources RET ]
| mail-sources is a variable defined in ‘mail-source.el’.
| Its value is ((file) (imap :server "mail.koldfront.dk" :stream tls))
| Original value was ((file))
|
| Documentation:
| Where the mail backends will look for incoming mail.
| This variable is a list of mail source specifiers.
| See Info node ‘(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers’.

It sounds to me like that is failing in your setup, somehow.
Best regards,
Adam
