LMI> Add the mail backend to `gnus-secondary-select-methods'.

Thanks for the response, but I found it was related to another
problem.  Apparently, I had each of the mail groups created twice, but
subscribed to once.  I noticed this when I did a `LM', with 'mail' as
the argument.  Some of the groups were listed as 'mail.group-name'
while the mate was listed as 'nnml: mail.group-name'.  Is there some
way of preventing a user from creating duplicate groups?
