It sounds like you were a bit of a ninja. Why give that up simply for a GUI? For my paert, I previously used Gnus but never with anything like that kind of .gnus. I moved via Outlook, Evolution, Thunderbird and eventually to Gmail (via the web interface). But I've decided to give Gnus another try for two reasons: 1. No matter how far I stray, I keep coming back to wanting a life as close as possible to plaintext. (I lived in emacs-wiki, then planner, then muse for while, coming back to org-mode via a foray into OneNote and EverNote) 2. I've yet to find another client that promises the filtering (splitting) power of Gnus. Ironically that's where I'm spending most of my energies, but I know that whatever I want to do is *possible*. More than can be said for pretty much everything else. My theory as to why I should try it now when I gave up in the past is that now I'm more determined to push through this initial learning phase to get (I hope) to a level of competency where I can at least do *slightly* better than the other clients I've used, before developing enough ability to be able to do a *lot* better.
