Gnus has something called "Groups" and a "Group Buffer". These groups can b= e thought of like folders, and through "splitting", incoming mail can be mo= ved into various groups automatically based on subject, From addresses, and= so forth. I use this for splitting mailing lists out into their own groups. After that, you get more great things you can do with groups, like assignin= g levels of importance to groups. This way, you can choose to view only cer= tain groups depending on, say, how much spare time you have a give moment. = And within a group, you can filter out threads that are not of interest to = you. Further advantages of Gnus is (1) it integrates well with your other Emacs = processes and configuration; and (2) you can use it to handle other kinds o= f messages, through various Gnus backends. E.g., nnatom and nnrss can be us= ed to process Blog and News feeds. Since you have some involvement in Emacs already, I would encourage giving = more consideration to Gnus. It allows you to apply to the power of Emacs te= xt processing and programmability to the whole notion of "processing news",= which includes handling incoming e-mail messages, as well as various other= sources of information. --=20 Christopher Howard
