Depending on the other MUA you're planning to use, you can choose a suitable Gnus backend. AFAIK, nnmaildir should even allow concurrent use of Gnus and other MUAs. Or use nnimap. nnfolder stores mail in standard Unix mailbox format, so you can read them with most Unix MUAs (but do _not_ write to them behind Gnus' back). > Same thing for news : how can I decipher .newsrc.eld in order to get > the list of read message if I want to change reader ? ,----[ C-h v gnus-save-newsrc-file RET ] | gnus-save-newsrc-file's value is t | | Documentation: | *Non-nil means that Gnus will save the `.newsrc' file. | Gnus always saves its own startup file, which is called | ".newsrc.eld".
