For a one shot solution, you can start Gnus with gnus-no-server. If you
want to get this behaviour permanently, you should declare the primary
backend as nnil, and move your news server as a secondary backend, and
adjust its level so it doesn't gets checked at startup.

I must have trying these in an incorrect order, as I kept receiving an
error on startup with anything agentized, but now everything is in
working order. Thanks :)

Start emacs with gnus in unplugged mode:
/usr/bin/emacs --funcall gnus-unplugged
Switching betwenn plugged/unplugged: "J j" in groups buffer.
Status of servers buffer: "^" in groups buffer.
In status of servers buffer you may:
* specify which servers are handled by agent
* switch servers to offline and closed (next "g" will query them)
I personally suggest making all on/off servers handled by agent.

Very interesting, many thanks. I haven't got it to work as expected yet,
but I'm sure in time...

You may start emacs with gnus in offline mode.

I use it with local IMAP not handled by gnus agent and a few remote IMAP and
NNTP accounts manually turned on online as required.

How do I prevent Gnus from checking for new news at startup? Ideally
just build the Group buffer then press `g' to connect.
