For me, setting up any of the Emacs email clients to work properly with 
my various email tasks is a daunting task. This especially true for my 
work email account which is not a Gmail account. I simply don't have the 
technical knowledge to get everything working, and I don't have the time 
to acquire that technical knowledge.

As a result, I use Thunderbird for all of my email and feed reading 
tasks. Thunderbird is trivial for me to set up, it is very easy to use, 
and I can still use Emacs for writing and editing email (as I'm doing 
now) with the External Editor add-on (http://globs.org/).
