Currently I use compose emails in Emacs and copy/paste them into gmail. Maybe in the future I will configure Emacs as a proper mail client. I am a beginner; although I have been using Emacs for years, I have never learned all its power - I only read the tutorial and the beginning of the reference manual, I have much more to read.
