Emacs is great as an editor -- I started using it about a month ago
and am still a total newbie. The question is: how do I get this GNUs
working -- the mail and news reader? Does the mail reader need to be
configured with fetchmail or something similar? Can it retrive my pop
emails from gmails? And how is it different from Mutt?

I tried configuring it once for mail/news and got a bunch of error messages.
