Windows is not Unix. If I w= ant Unix, I install some Ubuntu in a VM or on a spare machine.
Under Windows, I use =A0gnuwin32 whenever I can and mingw/msys s= ometimes=A0
(just to compile the trunk org-mode at th= e moment, because it is easier than write msvc makefiles)

Back to w3m, rendering html this way may be ok, but it rem= ains quite slow, it make emacs busy
for something that chro= me is designed to do quickly. So I use chrome and gmail. Once you find that=
you can program some stuff with scripts in google apps, I do alm= ost what I was used to with Gnus.
I can even compose messag= es in emacs if needed (using the edit server chrome extension for emacs).

Well everyone has to find his best setup.

It is available from Cygwin, and it does work well for the HTML mails= I
receive in Gnus. Of course, it's limited (no JavaScript, a.o.), but tha= t's no
different from under Linux.
