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.
