This doesn't happen to me but I notice that my config is slightly different:

;; tell gnus not to fetch mail
(setq mail-sources nil)

;; we are only using email
(setq gnus-nntp-server nil
      gnus-read-active-file nil
      gnus-save-newsrc-file nil
      gnus-read-newsrc-file nil
      gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil)

;; fetching email
(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "mainMail"
               (nnimap-address "localhost")
               (nnimap-stream network)
               (nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/myles/.authinfoMainMail")
               (nnimap-authenticator login)
               (imap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:/home/myles/Maildir/otherMail 
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap")))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "otherMail"
                (nnimap-address "localhost")
                (nnimap-stream network)
                (nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/myles/.authinfoOtherMail")
                (nnimap-authenticator login)
                (imap-shell-program "MAIL=maildir:/home/myles/Maildir/otherMail 
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap"))
