I used gnus (after much trouble to set it up) about 6-7 years ago until
something went wrong and I could not recover a lot of my emails.  Since
then I went back to mutt.

Is Gnus easier to setup nowadays then then?

I remember it as a very powerful mail client and maybe I might try it
out again - this time in an imap-situation not to run the risk of losing
my emails again.

Regards.
