I once had a batch job run from cron that did it and then passed the info to an uplugged gnus instance. That was pretty good but could get sort of out of sync. And you had to batch outgoing stuff too. I'm thinking handlers can do this, but it seems you'd want something to run on a time schedule not related to when emacs is idle. Anyway, can we see some examples known to be trouble free or close that people are using to get news/mail every so often?
