I personnaly use this feature. So I have told to Gnus to check for new
mails even in 'unplugged' mode.

Here is how I achieve this :

,----
| (eval-after-load "mail-source"
|        '(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "MYSERVER"
|                                           :user "USER" :password "PASS" :plugged t
| 				     )))
