I'm sure that gnus-demon-scan-mail does not. Are you sure it has not been run? > Do I need to start the daemon from somewhere? `C-h i d m gnus m daemons ' says: If you add handlers to `gnus-demon-handlers' directly, you should run `gnus-demon-init' to make the changes take hold. To cancel all daemons, you can use the `gnus-demon-cancel' function. But in your case you are adding the daemons with the g-d-a-h function, so it should not be necessary. My guess is that the demon is working, but since it is not updating the group buffer you can't see it. Niklas
