I don't like Gnus. Tried it, it has long processes and generation of
files over Maildirs, and it cannot handle 61656 Maildirs. For sure I
tried it several times from 1999. For me, it would be waste of time to
touch it again. Building future on Gnus would be disaster, I would not
achieve anything with it for last many years. Sorry Lars. 😔🙁
