I usually start Gnus with M-x gnus-unplugged when I don't want to
contact any servers at startup.
The drawback is that once Gnus is up, it's important to run
gnus-agent-toggle-plugged (keys "J J") from the Groups menu. That will
put Gnus back in normal mode (without downloading new messages). If one
doesn't toggle back, Gnus will remain in off-line mode, which includes
just queueing outgoing mail in nndraft:queue, and they will _NOT_ be
sent automagically when one toggles back to on-line mode. One has to do
that manually (i.e., go to that folder an issue "D S"
(send-all-messages, or some such)), which is very easy to forget, in
which case one's messages will remain unsent until the dusk of eternity.
;-)
