maybe Offtopic: Emacs + Org + ?? to read Email (IMAP) on Win2K

[Philipp Raschdorff]

Hello,

I've read this list from the beginning and I'm amazed how fast org-mode
is evolving - thanks!

I hope my question maybe offtopic :-o

I would like to use Emacs to read my Emails, since a lot of my tasks
coming from reading mail. I know that some people use Emacs to read
their mails.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to setup things correctly.

I want:
- Emacs to read Mail from 3 different IMAP-Mailservers
- use orgmode to link to mail-messages, create task etc.
- really offtopic: gnupg-support for emacs/org-mode
- I'm running Win2K

Any help would be great.

regards from berlin / germany

I use Xemacs on win2k. At the moment, i use muttng & msmtp under
cygwin. I tried using Xemacs, as a mail reader but gave up. VM got to
slow, Wanderlust & Mew are documented in Japanese, and Gnus is so
feature packed it looked like it would take weeks to set up let alone
find out how to use.

I'd be interested in finding out how other people are using emacs
as a mail client, and if it is worth doing. 

Tim.

I personnally use rmail (M-x rmail) which is really simple to use.
I, by the past, was using gnus but I wanted something lighter.

That's why I point you to my.gnus.org. The tutorial is by far the best
out there. I start using gnus after reading the tutorial. I'm happy
that I have used gnus earlier rather than later:-)

I looked at it last year when i was trying to rationalize my email
systems, but it didn't feel right for me. I will probably come back to
it, but i'm happy with my muttng + XEmacs as editor hybrid at the
moment.
