That's a lot of .gnus. It sounds like you were a bit of a ninja. Why
give that up simply for a GUI?
For my paert, I previously used Gnus but never with anything like that
kind of .gnus. I moved via Outlook, Evolution, Thunderbird and
eventually to Gmail (via the web interface).
But I've decided to give Gnus another try for two reasons:
1. No matter how far I stray, I keep coming back to wanting a life as
close as possible to plaintext. (I lived in emacs-wiki, then planner,
then muse for while, coming back to org-mode via a foray into OneNote
and EverNote)
2. I've yet to find another client that promises the filtering
(splitting) power of Gnus. Ironically that's where I'm spending most of
my energies, but I know that whatever I want to do is *possible*. More
than can be said for pretty much everything else.
My theory as to why I should try it now when I gave up in the past is
that now I'm more determined to push through this initial learning phase
to get (I hope) to a level of competency where I can at least do
*slightly* better than the other clients I've used, before developing
enough ability to be able to do a *lot* better.
