OK, so this is my set up

The .fetchmailrc in /root permits me to occasionally visually see what
is happening and if necessary log in webmail to a particualar server to
fic any snags.
You might get some comments about using "F" when starting fetchmail, but
this works for me.
The above dumps your emails into /var/spool/mail/MYLINUXSYSTEMUSERNAME
It then needs to be broght into GNUS via:
[1] "g"
[2] having in ~/.gnus the following:
;; AUTOMATICALLY CHECK MAILPERIODICALLY
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook
'(lambda ()
(gnus-demon-init)
(setq gnus-demon-timestep 1) ;; each timestep is 1 second
;; Check for new mail every 300 timesteps (5 minute)
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 300 t)
(gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail 300 t)
;; Don't crash gnus if disconnected
(defadvice gnus-demon-scan-news (around gnus-demon-timeout activate)
"Timeout for Gnus."
(with-timeout
(120 (message "Gnus timed out."))
ad-do-it))))
[ANYMAIL]
IN /usr/local/bin/anymail
----
filename=/var/spool/mail/inconnu
maxsize=0
filesize=$(stat -c%s "$filename")
if (( filesize > maxsize )); then
xmessage -nearmouse "inconnu HAS MAIL"
else
xmessage -nearmouse "NO MAIL for inconnu"
fi
[/ANYMAIL]
Hopefully the forgoing might be of some assistance to you.
You can then start other emacs functions with M-x (Like erc, editor,
etc)
ANYMAIL will tell you via xmessage if you have any mail.
