Yes, and there's more.  Emacs comes also with MH-E which is a very good
system as well.  If you look at non-bundled packages, there's also Mew
and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple more.

Tho in practice if you want to directly access an IMAP mailbox (seems to be
the standard nowadays), I think Gnus is your only real choice.  he upside
of that is that it's a pretty damn good choice.  The only problem I have
with it is that its IMAP support is slow if you have many folders.
