This looks as if it was intended to be run from the command line, like
``emacs -batch -f lars-fetch-news''.

For periodically checking for new mail, I think there are some
ready-made functions.  Load gnus-demon.el and then look for functions
starting with gnus-demon.  gnus-demon-add-scanmail and
gnus-demon-add-rescan look promising, judging solely from their
names.
