Something along this lines should do the trick...

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
             '(nnfolder "mail-external"
                        (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail-external")
                        (nnfolder-newsgroups-file "~/Mail-external/newsgroups")
                        (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
                        (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail-external/active"))
             t)

See (info "(gnus)Mail Folders") for information about these and more
server settings.

Bye, Reiner.
