The version that comes with the development version of emacs is regularly synchronized with the Gnus development repository. So it's pretty much the same at this point in time.

I didn't follow the threads, but maybe you are trying to do too much at once? Setting up Gnus for a few imap accounts is pretty easy: ,----[ (info "(gnus)Connecting to an IMAP Server") ] | Connecting to an IMAP can be very easy. Type `B' in the group buffer, | or (if your primary interest is reading email), say something like: | | (setq gnus-select-method | '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com")) | | You'll be prompted for a user name and password. If you grow tired | of that, then add the following to your `~/.authinfo' file: | | machine imap.gmail.com login password port imap | | That should basically be it for most users. `---- When that's done, then you might want to configure some posting styles and parameters: (info "(gnus)Posting Styles") (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") Basically, that's all to get a fully functional Gnus for reading mail.
