I belong to many mailing lists and receive somewhere around 1k emails a day. Since I spend the rest of my day in emacs, I thought I might have a go at moving my email there as well. So, a quick google reveals VM as the front runner for email. Am I right? Any gotchas or missing features to be aware of? TIA Andrew Walrond
