the three features that made me move into gnus: 1 - scoring - which you just mentioned 2 - group levels - you can assign levels to each of the mail groups/folders and it'll only download groups in each level at a time, it's very good for organization. 3 - integration with org-mode - you can add an annotated link to an email with a single keypress, it's a lot more productive than copy-pasting text because you know where the text came from and you can reply to the email on the spot, with another key press.
