You've forgotten to mention the steep learning curve means messing
with your mailbox too, possibly deleting some mails from your server.
Yeah, I know the Unix way: steep learning curve and shooting in your
own foot all the way to achieve even basic tasks.  Every mail client
I've tried just asks you about your mail address and addresses of your
servers.  Gnus is not smart enough to do it.  Stay away from Gnus,
this is my advice.
