Cool, you've been reading mail with GNUS?  I remember a project for
this, but I forget the name.

I never used and do not intend to use gnus email. It does not fit my
way of working with my mail

For about 4 years, and I've been using it for news since 1992.

Email, since about 1996.
News, since about 1995.

I vaguely recall poring over the documenation for gnus mail expiration
in 1994, so probably about eight years.

I've been using Gnus for newsgroups for about 12 hours, but it looks like I
won't be able to use it for email --- although my university uses IMAP for
mail, the Gnus I can use is only 5.7, which I gather doesn't support said
protocol.

If someone can tell me how to use IMAP in 5.7 (G/E 20.7), and how to save ng
messages to my mail (or at least bounce them to myself --- I save a lot of
messages to look at later), I'll likely switch, but right now I'll probably go
back to PINE, because I prefer being able to do everything together...
(today, I've been saving messages to ~/mail in my filespace, and using PINE to
move them up to my IMAP space --- not exactly optimal :-( )

For the neophyte, what are the instructions for installing a more
recent version of gnus in the home directoy where Gnus v5.7
appears to be on the system already?...

If y'all would, do note technical phases and jargon that are not
explained in the instructions or referenced to a explicatory web link
in the instructions can make the instructions more difficult.
