Nice page, lots of info --- but how do I get gnus to work?

Yeah, you got an endless ~./emacs with a lot things in it. But that
doesn't say how to get gnus to work, either.
It seems to be fine with the ~/.gnus I created and happily displays an
empty buffer, and that's it.
BTW, is gnus good for organizing mail? Since it's a news reader, it
might not support that at all because you don't organize news. I'm
trying to find a MUA that supports organizing mail --- mutt, for
example, doesn't; sup "solves" the problem by abandoning the idea of
organizing mail altogether. Maybe I could use it, but it doesn't run
stable enough to try it out. I don't want a GUI MUA, and it must
support maildir. I want to continue using emacs or xemacs as an editor
for mails.
