Hmm, not sure how they can help since I'm looking for a mails/news
reader.

Well, this is mainly the reason why I used gnus for more than 2 years
but I think it's a very _bad_ reason.

I recently have to configure Thunderbird and it took me less than 15
mins to configure 3 IMAP mailboxes, and to subscribe to a couple of
news group, configure the threaded view, doing some searches,
archiving some articles etc... guess how long it took me to do the
same with Gnus ? :(
