An opinionated setup that gets a noob going right away. My story: I started with John Wiegley's dot-emacs files, spent 3 days trying to get gmail going, gave up in disgust and shame. Revisited several months later, spent another 2 days to cobble an essentially unusable setup without dovecot. Finally, after a week of work, came up with https://github.com/dickmao/gnus-imap-walkthrough. EA> I will look for the one with the "essential 5%" and see if I can steal EA> from it, thanks for the tip! redguardtoo's document (along with other google hits for "Gnus tutorial") got me nowhere. It's unfortunate that it received 5000 github stars (mostly from users in China). By plying Google's search algo, it has become the unoffical guide to Gnus, which is one reason among many why Gnus is on the wane relative to notmuch and mu4e.
