Here are my settings from my .gnus.el, dated 2003-05-15 23:23:19:

 ;; Automatically fetch news and mail every 15 minutes when idle
 (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 15 t)


11 days later, on 2003-05-26 11:55:55, I changed it to the code below (I
don't know why I made that change.  I've messed up the commit, and
committed it with another change in the same file.  Maybe this was an
experimental setting that got accidentally committed?  Anyway it's been
this way for quite a while... I don't know if it actually works, since
it still seems to scan news when idle...):

 ;; Automatically fetch news and mail every 15 minutes when idle
 (defun sb-gnus-demon-scan-imap ()
   (let ((win (current-window-configuration)))
     (unwind-protect
 	(save-window-excursion
 	  (save-excursion
 	    (when (gnus-alive-p)
 	      (save-excursion
 		(set-buffer gnus-group-buffer)
 		(gnus-group-get-new-news 2)))))
       (set-window-configuration win))))

 (gnus-demon-add-handler 'sb-gnus-demon-scan-imap 15 t)
 (gnus-demon-add-rescan)
