Here we go - gnus ahoy.  I use gmail:

- for their relatively infinite storage space (100 accounts * 2.7GB
  each),

- so I can easily read & show our kids all the graphics-heavy forwards
  my Mom sends :-) (I don't want to futz with w3, w3m, etc.)

- for access anywhere.

Unfortunately, gmail doesn't do IMAP:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10339 but there
are some workarounds I'll look into (google "gmail imap" without the
quotes).

Cheers, and thanks to all for the kick in the pants to get back to
gnus -
