Look a bit more closely, it's in there.
Set your mail group(s) to level 2 (news groups are level 3 by
default). Then do a `2 g' to fetch only the mail groups when you want
to pull in new mail.
For limiting to email, this is what I do: I run M-x gnus-no-server
instead of M-x gnus. This gives me a mail-only gnus. When I want to
read news I do a `3 g' and all my nntp groups get fetched (as well as
any new mail that might be in my spool files). Unfortunately there's
no way that I know of to only read news, but in general that's not
much of a problem. I could probably separate them in topic mode and
hide the mail groups, but I have other uses for topics. Anyway, when
I'm done with news, I do a `2 l' (note that's l, not g) and my gnus
session will only be for mail again (that is, typing g only fetches
from my mail spools).
