Only for searching. This feeling is mitigated a bit by the recent improvements in nnir IMAP search in the development version of Gnus, but it's still not as nice as Gmail search.
On the other hand, I use Gmail to archive some mailing lists (precisely because the search is so good -- almost always better than whatever archiving system the list maintainers are using), and my god is it slow! Slow to switch folders, slow to search.... So in that regard, I don't understand how people use Gmail as their primary MUA.
On occasion I hear a story about how someone complains that Gmail is slow, often in a public place like Twitter, and then some magical Gmail fairy moves their records to a less-contended shard/tablet/whatever, which improves things. Maybe I'm just unlucky.
- unhammer 16y agoYou can use notmuch-search with Gnus: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NotMuch http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NotMuch Now there's nothing at all you could possibly miss from Gmail ;)

- RBerenguel 16y agoI have installed the latest cvs gnus... And search looks broken: I made a search (that I knew worked) and it keeps on fetching and reordering the buffer of results forever. I'll try to check what is going on, or waiting a little longer... :/ Edited: Holy sh*t! Installed the latest GIT gnus... Blazingly fast!! I'll write about it this week, this is something that needs to be installed... I just can say WOW.
