I think you can find a great bit of information wrt on how to setup Gnus on reading and receiving mail. I think it, boils down to answering the following questions before going on with the task of hooking up your mail in Gnus: 1) How do you receive/read your email? Is it local or remote? (e.g. do you currently use some combination of fetchmail/procmail or do you prefer to read everything online using imap?) 2) If you fetchmail your stuff locally into some common format (mbox/Maildir) from source, do you want to continue using these formats or would you consider a migration to the nnml backend? 3) Do you need splitting/sorting to be done either on local or remote methods? I hope I made my point with the above. The point is NOT to setup gnus to read email. The point is to setup gnus to read email THE WAY YOU WANT. There is enough rope around here for everybody I think :) p.s. my original setup was fetchmail->postfix->procmail->mbox->mua of choice. After a few experiments, I think the following setup was the most convenienenst to me: fetchmail->mbox->Gnus with splitting with nnml backend .
