When I was using emacs-rmail back in the 1990s it was the only mailer
client available as I recall. And it used Babyl format files only at
that time. But then emacs-vm appeared and I switched to using
emacs-vm and found it a lot better for many reasons. I didn't look at
the version history but back in those earlier days I think rmail was
considered the standard emacs mail reader. Here it is 30 years later
and I am no longer using either but have been using mutt happily for
years.
And I have had similar experiences with gnus for, well, newsgroups. I
am currently using gnus to read news but I don't really like it. It
is very arcane by comparison to other newsreaders that I have used.
And here I am quite a hard core long time emacs user but I don't find
gnus to be a very good interface. I am just trying to use it because
it is a long term emacs interface. But I find doing even simple
things quite difficult to impossible. I would never recommend gnus
for email.
