Hi Marcin,

For me Gnus is the gold standard among mail/news clients.  It can be hard
work to set it up but it is worth it.  Alas, some good resources have
actually vanished from the web over  the years.


Sacha Chua describes a very basic set up for IMAP here:

http://sachachua.com/blog/2008/05/geek-how-to-use-offlineimap-and-the-dovecot-mail-server-to-read-your-gmail-in-emacs-efficiently/

If you are not running /Sendmail/Postfix/Exim etc you may find this page
helpful 

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SendingMail

There are of course several Gnus mailing lists/newsgroups.


Good luck!


Glyn
