I used to use Gnus, but switched back to Claws so it's easier for my
other family members.

I'm using getmail to fetch from different servers, maildrop to sort
and dovecot running on localhost so that has Claws access to all the
mail via IMAP (that's how I used it with Gnus as well), while
emacsclient is used as Claws' external editor.

I used Gnus for nntp & rss, but had too many problems with
unrecognised rss feeds and I had to pull news every 20mins or so due
to problems with Gnus <--> Dovecot timeout-ing. Moreover, Gnus tends
to be slow and considering Emacs' single-threading, I went back to
Claws despite having desire to do almost-everything in Emacs.


Sincerely,
Gour
