Hi José,

Thanks for the hint! It seems an interesting replacement for feeds2imap.
I guess that all feeds go to the same e-mail address and that you use
splitting to create different groups? Would you be willing to share your
configuration?

I am still interested in the pure elisp route. I have had a look at the
elfeed source code and is seems rather modular and using its API seems
feasible.

On the other hand, I have had a look at the code of some Gnus backends
(hacker news, reddit) and I don't understand what is needed to build
one. 

Is there any example of Gnus backend which can be suggested as an
introductory tutorial? I am going to study the relevant section of the
Gnus info manual, but any advice would be welcome.

Thanks everybody.

G.
