thanks to stegemann, i use the following:

;; (2001) Ulf Stegemann <ulf*zeitform.de>
(defun my-check-mail ()
  "Fetch new mails only."
  (gnus-group-get-new-news 2))

(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (gnus-demon-add-handler 'my-check-mail 2 0)))

note that the above code will only check mail on groups with level 2 or
higher. default is 3. i keep my email on 1 and 2 and spam and news on 3
and below. hitting 'g' will check everything like you're used to.
