The old 7.19 version has indeed been frozen for a long time, but I am using the latest versions out of the repo on Launchpad and Savannah, https://launchpad.net/vm https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/viewmail/ with emacs 23. While it is clear that it does not have a huge team behind it, as you can see there Uday S. Reddy and Ulrich Mueller are quite active maintainers (there were 28 commits in March, for example). VM provides all the functionality I need (including very good MIME and html support, interacting very well with w3w) with an interface that is very natural to emacs users (similar to rmail) and which avoids the complications of gnus. There is a good interface to maildir for example, and also to org mode. The virtual folder mechanism is really very good. The only missing thing for me is direct support for maildir but the VM maintainers are currently working on it.
