Gnus is not difficult to setup. You just need like half
a page of skeleton code and put in a couple (5-6?) of
parameters that will tell what server to use for news,
what protocol and server to use to send mails, etc. -
just a couple of such things, that you always setup
anyway (no matter the client), and you get it from your
ISP.
There was a man on this list, Jambunathan K, who was in
contact with another man, who setup such fool-proof
configurations to get you started (called "suites"). I
don't know what happened to that project, or if they
got to Gnus, but no matter, Gnus is possible to setup
regardless of anyone's abilities.
