Yes.

I have this set up:

  ; Demon to fetch email every 5 minutes when Emacs has been idle for 5 minutes:
  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 5)

and I use 'g' manually to fetch as well.

Come to think of it, I have wrapped 'g' like this:

  (defun asjo-group-get-new-news ()
    "Do the equivalent of g M-< n :*)"
    (interactive)
    (save-excursion
      (setq asjo-fetch-was-manual t)
      (gnus-group-get-new-news)
      (goto-char (point-min)))
      (gnus-group-next-unread-group 1)
      (setq asjo-fetch-was-manual nil))

Mainly so point jumps to the first unread group after news are fetched.

(I use the asjo-fetch-was-manual variable to determine whether new
emails gets forwarded to my phone or not - the idea being that if the
fetch is done manually, it means that I am sitting at the Emacs, so I
don't need the emails to go to the the phone¹.)


  Best regards,

    Adam


¹ I don't use IMAP to share email between Gnus and phone, instead I use
nnml to store email locally, and automatically forward a subset (using
splitting) of the emails to the phone.
