Have you any idea ? gnus is an obvious candidate. It can be a bit of a steep learning curve initially. I use it to interact with two different gmail accounts via imap, as well as a few nntp groups, like this one. I'm finding the development version of gnus a pleasure to use for this: it is fast, and there's a very nice search facility both for imap and for nntp groups. (E.g. I used to find it hard to reply in an old thread, but not any longer) As for org compatibility, isolated begin_src fragments are fontified as if they were in org-mode which is very nice (so the languages are fontified correctly if you turn on org-src-fontify-natively). This is thanks to Seb Vauban, and Julien Danjou. Also attached text files are fontified in the correct major mode. I don't really know how it works, but the end result is that often when reading this list in gnus, I see fragments of org-mode markup, and emacs-lisp and other languages, fully fontified in my email. As for MIME, do you know the org-mime-* functions, contributed by Eric Schulte? They work very nicely; I'm looking forward to finding some spare time to work out how best to fit them into my day-to-day emailing.
