Hi Simon,
I use gnus, and received help from people on the list. Here's a small
contribution if you do get going with it:
The listing of emails in the summary buffer will look *terrible* with
the default settings. But you can make it look really nice using unicode
characters for arrows etc. (Example settings below, screenshot at
http://www.princeton.edu/~ddavison/gnus.png)
(Plus, if you use gnus you don't have to see these ridiculous
Kindergarten-style dotted lines and scissors that people put in
emails :) )
