Subject: 25.1; gnus always checks the news
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 00:13:00 -0200

I'm trying to avoid gnus to check news on rss feed and imaps.
I want it just to open, read my offline stuff and if I need to
check stuff, press g.

Everywhere I ask people gives me the same awnser:

(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil)
(setq gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups nil)

This are already in my .emacs (tried also on .gnus) file and M-x gnus
keeps checking the news when loading.

I'd like some help on finding out if this is a bug or I'm doing
something else wrong.


Thanks

If I understand correctly what you're asking, simply start Gnus with

  M-x gnus-unplugged RET

instead of

  M-x gnus RET

. If, however, the servers/groups you don't want Gnus to check on
startup are not managed by the agent, then you will probably want
to set the variable `gnus-activate-level' to a value lower than
the level of the groups you don't want to have checked on startup,
and/or change the group level of those groups.

See

  M-: (info "(gnus) Group Levels") RET

for details.

Does this solve the problem?
