Yes, I do. I read mails via IMAP, too.
Here is my code which works perfectly for me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-use-demon t)
(defun gnus-demon-scan-news ()
(when (gnus-alive-p)
(save-excursion
(set-buffer gnus-group-buffer)
(gnus-group-get-new-news))
)
)
(defun gnus-demon-scan-mail ()
(when (and (gnus-alive-p) mail-here)
(save-excursion
(set-buffer gnus-group-buffer)
(gnus-group-get-new-news 3)
)
)
)
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 10)
(gnus-demon-init)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
As you can see I don't use the "gnus-demon-scan-mail"-function but mail
checking works.
Regards,
Marcus
