Hmm... I've been a bit put off by:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Mail-in-a-Newsreader.html

(all the stuff about threading and auto-expiry, which aren't what I want
most of the time, and the fact that anything that I do need to configure I
need to set up in elisp incantations that are even more arcane than a
typical configuration file)

That suggests VM instead... anyone have any comments on how they might
compare? I can't seem to find any screenshots with a 'folder list' - does
this exist?

That's part of the trouble... there's so much configurability that even a
simple grep-like search looks complicated.

I don't suppose it's possible for Gnus or VM to shell out to a sensible
editor for writing mail ;->
