Gnus has far and away the biggest user base, the best support, and is the most actively developed (as far as I can tell VM -- which I used for a couple of years-- is a dead project). Gnus is distributed with Emacs and all of it's mime and message handling libraries are distributed with Emacs. The config can be daunting if you don't have any help, however there are many friendly people on this list who I'm sure would be happy to share their gnus imap config (please feel free to contact me off list), and once you have the basics working it's really a joy to use. Just my personal subjective biased opinion :) -- Eric Simon Brown writes: > * Scott Brim (swb@employees.org) wrote: >> Wanderlust seems best at IMAP -- I would go there first, but if you've tolerated >> mutt's IMAP support this long, maybe you don't need good IMAP support.
