Re: How do you read mail with gnus?

You have to start with Gnus-select-method and nnmaildir (imap) and nntp
(news). See examples in my .emacs and/or manual.

Yes, because it does not have any info to display yet.

If by organizing you mean sieve, scoring, grouping and things like that,
then yes, Gnus is very good for organizing mail.
