The latest i tried was setting up gnus via imap (gmail ) which worked for approximately 2 hours before getting errors and making me (once again..) give up and crawl back defeated to gmail :) plus the fact that i need a separate emacs session just for mail and all other small quirks in gnus are kind of a pain to setup (at least it seems so). mu4e seemed so promising but for me it seems that no matter what i do i cant get the headers to auto refresh when i get a new email which is driving me crazy so had to give up on that.
