As your approach is giving you problems, maybe it would make sense to look into Gnus' demons?
· http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_119.html#Daemons I use this: ; Demon to fetch email every 5 minutes when Emacs has been idle for 5 minutes: (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 5 5) ; Demon to send queued email every other minute: (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-delay-send-queue 1 nil) (gnus-demon-init) To my surprise, the manual doesn't mention gnus-demon-scan-news, which I would think was the most obvious one to write about... Hm, maybe it is obsolete? I guess this is the current way: ,----[ C-h f gnus-demon-add-rescan RET ] | gnus-demon-add-rescan is an autoloaded compiled Lisp function in | ‘gnus-demon.el’. | | (gnus-demon-add-rescan) | | Add daemonic scanning of new articles from all backends. `---- ?
