Fetching mail in gnus |

Hello,
two questions regarding fetching mails in gnus.
First: I have pop as mail source type. Is it ok to omit all parameters except
:program, and feed :program with the path of a shell script which in turn calls
getmail with an appropriate configuration file containing the account
information? I suspect yes, but to be sure I ask.
Second: When I enter a mail group from the group buffer, all mails currently
located in the backend (and being in the right state) are shown. But, what's
not yet clear to me is: Under what circumstances does gnu actually fetch mail
from the mail source, i.e. call the shell script in my setup described above?
Do I have to invoke some extra command I not yet found, or is this done when I
enter the group, or periodically according to some configuration settings,...?
Thanks for help,
Wolfgang
