For many years, I used gnus with POP and the unison file sync to keep
different machines working together. This works quite well, although
you have to be careful about the syncing; nnml can't cope with
modifications to both sides; I've thought about trying the new nnmaildir
backend which claims that it can.
This worked well for me. At least until I moved jobs and have now been
forced
onto an Exchange server with no IMAP.
Trust me, what ever hassles you are suffering from with Gnus, it could
be worse; it could be outlook.
