Note that Gnus isn't the only option when it comes to email in 
Emacs. Included with Emacs is also MH-E, and there are several 
external packages, such as  notmuch-emacs, Wanderlust, Mew and 
mu4e.

See also <https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryMail>.

Of the ones listed here, I only tried Gnus, which I couldn't get 
used to, and mu4e, which I love and use. (I also used mutt for a 
long time, with Emacs as editor, and I still do, occasionally; 
IMHO it's also a good option, but in the end I prefer having 
everything email-related in Emacs, not just the writing of 
messages.)
