If you are already running an Emacs, I presume that you want to read in batch because emacs hangs while reading? In which case, you might want to use the gnus-demon instead which will read in the idle cycle. You might also want to look at the nnmaildir backend which is supposed to cope with concurrent modification. Never tried it, although I mean to at some time.
