This was not emotions. I've specifically got rather definite claims. 2
years ago I got and spitted mail by gnus. And... First of all, this was
very slow while downloading big attachments. And I needed to wait for a
very long time in order to continue reading mail. Secondly, it was good
to me only until I bought a second computer (laptop). How would you
manage mail if you could do it only with one of you computers? And what
did I need the second computer for in this case? For all except
communication?

Now I get mail via imap sorting it on server side by sieve. For most
mailing lists I use gmane transport, and for all of my rss I use gwene.
In comparison with nnmail and nnrss this works supersonic and in
background, by the way.

If I did everything right in the beginning, I would not spend so much
time for reorganization of my mailing system.

I would like to know how you solved the problems with speed described
above.
