Search info Gnus for the words 'agent' or 'unplugged'. You don't need
the agent for reading *mail* offline, but you do for news.

I don't know lbdbq. But maybe BBDB (which works very well with Gnus)
could be the thing you are looking for.

I don't think that would help you much, but might be rather confusing.
Just start with as little as possible in .gnus.el. Gnus must know,
where to get news and mail, in what form you want to store your mail
('mail backend') and how you want it to be split in mail groups.
That's about all you need to start and is described very well in info.
