No, the notion of group in Gnus also applies to email messages. It is
just a container of messages, either stored locally or accessed through
IMAP for mails, or read via NNTP for News (the Agent also plays a role
by caching locally, but let's keep things simple :).

If you use Gnus to read email, you use mail groups, even if you do not
know it :).

See for example:

How do you read them? If each list doesn't have its own group, you might
need to configure splitting. Having a group per list is very convenient.

r is explicitely to reply to the author.
Mail-Followup-To is stronger:
