Many others can answer this too, but I'll keep it simple. Rmail is a basic client that works fine for basic use. There is nothing at all wrong with it. However, Gnus is infinitely extensible and customizable, at the cost of a rather extended learning curve compared to other clients, and what can be a significant amount of work. But there are set-up guides and the customization and learning can be extended over time while still getting useful results. You can do nearly anything with Gnus. I've used it now for well over 15 years. It took a little while at first to tame the beast, but it's become irreplacable and indispensible to my workflow. Bob Newell Honolulu
