I prefer Mu4e and msmtp/lbsync.

  You say you prefer mu4e which seems to imply you tried or looked into gnus. What were the reasons that made you prefer mu4e? I use mu4e right now but am considering checking out gnus, would like your reasoning for doing the opposite.

    Sorry, I was late. Mu4e and slrn can acces your cached your remote imap and nntp folders with an mbsync (isync pkg) maildir and a news spool (slrnpull setup) respectively, so the access is ultrafast compared to the crawling GNUs, even when used with fiber connections.

    Speed, speed and speed. M-x gnus-jog-cache is slow as hell, mu4e makes it fast and on Usenet slrnpull+Gnus it's the ultimate combo: My ~/.gnus.el: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnspool "") nnspool-spool-directory "/var/spool/slrnpull/news" nnspool-nov-directory "/var/spool/slrnpull/news/over.view" nnspool-active-file "/var/spool/slrnpull/data/active" gnus-check-new-newsgroups t gnus-post-method '(nnspool "") nnspool-inews-program "sh" nnspool-inews-switches '("-c" "cat > /var/spool/slrnqqqpull/out.going/X$(date +%s)-$$-1.$LOGNAME")) (defun my-slrnpull-post-only (&optional dont-check) (interactive) (when (or dont-check (message-news-p)) (gnus-message 5 "Posting news...")
