At that time I felt it's very interesting and too difficult to learn. I was a boy just graduated from university. Fours years ago, I began to learn to use Emacs seriously. Mostly Gnus for news reading and archiving emails. Now I switched to only use Gnus as email client, and dumped Mail.app under MacOSX, and Evolution under GNU/Linux. And learning to use Org mode for work notes, planning etc. In office, besides OOo for documents and spreadsheets, Emacs is almost the only app I use. Sure I need offlineimap to sync emails from several IMAP accounts to my notebook and home Mac, and msmtp for email sending since I need send email from several addresses. Recently I tested Bongo, and found it's very interesting. Plan to use it to play music. Sure ERC for chatting though I seldom do online chatting. I am seeking a sound solution to do MSN chat within Emacs (for work communication). Just feel erc+bitlbee is too complicated. I wonder if emacs-jabber can do this. I need time to look into this. Emacs is full of fun. Sadly I mostly use it for serious purposes.
