No.

bash> sudo pacman -S dovecot

in your mail config: 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq my/imap-method
        `(nnimap "mail"
                 (nnimap-stream shell)
                 (nnimap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:$HOME/mail /usr/lib/dovecot/imap")))

  (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))

  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods my/imap-method)
#+end_src

this is setup is robust to no internet connection. 

Correct $HOME/mail to the proper mail dir.
