This configuration will be an online IMAP client without local caching: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com") message-send-mail-function 'message-smtpmail-send-it smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com" smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl smtpmail-smtp-service 465) Then try M-x gnus to read mail. If you want something like a Gmail-style "conversation view," you might also add: (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date) gnus-sort-gathered-threads-function 'gnus-thread-sort-by-number) (add-hook 'gnus-summary-prepared-hook 'gnus-summary-hide-all-threads) This will start with threads ordered in the buffer with most recent on top, and collapsed until you begin to read them. Read the [Gmail]/All Mail group rather than the INBOX to see your replies too.
