Faster mail with Emacs

| emacs

I spent a few minutes getting offlineimap to synchronize my Gmail messages with dovecot, an IMAP server on my laptop. I also set up Gnus to work with the messages. Now I’m having fun speeding through my inbox. I don’t know why, but my text-based terminal seems a lot zippier and a lot easier to work with than Gmail… =)

I’m glad I’m back to doing my mail in Emacs!

I took over the development of VM in Nov 2009. (So I am not the "someone new" mentioned by AlexJB in the above post.)

VM version 8.1.0 is in beta release and it does IMAP pretty well. The offline operation is still a bit clunky, but it will become smoother in 8.1.1.

I welcome all Emacs folks to try it out!
