Oh yeah!  I forgot I copied those from somewhere a long time
ago.  I don't use them anymore.

David, here is that setup.  It makes Gnus check for mail
every 5 minutes and news every 30.

   ;; automatic mail scan without manual effort.
   ;;
   ;; level-specified group scanner.
   (defun gnus-demon-scan-mail-or-news-and-update (level)
     "Scan for new mail, updating the *Group* buffer."
     (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 level)))))
         (set-window-configuration win))))
   ;;
   ;; level 2: only mail groups are scanned.
   (defun gnus-demon-scan-mail-and-update ()
     "Scan for new mail, updating the *Group* buffer."
     (gnus-demon-scan-mail-or-news-and-update 2))
   (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail-and-update 5 t)
   ;;
   ;; level 3: mail and local news groups are scanned.
   (defun gnus-demon-scan-news-and-update ()
     "Scan for new mail, updating the *Group* buffer."
     (gnus-demon-scan-mail-or-news-and-update 3))
   (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news-and-update 30 t)
