A simpler version is simply:

;; daemonical mail and news fetch
(gnus-demon-add-rescan)

This one fetches mail if Gnus is left alone for one hour.  I guess the 
simplest setup to fetch mail every 5 minutes, would be something like
this:
	(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail 5 t)

NB! This is not tested.
