You're right. Tried it at home, where I'm using pop, and it's the same 
problem. I hope I'm not misunderstanding something - I mean
gnus-demon-scan-mail _is_ supposed to fetch new mail, right?

Anyway, I did some more debugging and what happens is that when
nnmail-get-new-mail is called from the demon, nnmail-fetched-sources
is nil. This means that the 'when fetching-sources' form where the
mail is actually fetched will not be run. 

When I hit g in the group buffer, on the other hand
nnmail-fetched-sources is bound in the first let binding of
gnus-group-get-new-news, which means that mail is fetched.

Not quite sure how this is supposed to work, but at the moment it
doesn't.
