Yes, I do read mail in gnus.
Gnus gets it mail (in linmux) from /var/spool/mail/user file and then
the nnmail split metthos kicks in.
to make a group in gnus  

;;  G > m  name [enter]  method: nnml [enter]
sorting into a the destined is automatic.
the "spam" group is my catch-all-other-mail-group.

and you can set diverse mailheaders and or other regexes per group in: 

;;;as an examples from my gnus.el file:

;; (setq gnus-posting-styles

      '((".*"

;; for normal newsgroups

         (From "Cor  <cor@clsnet.nl>")
         (Organization "Clsnet Linux Systems")
         (signature-file "~/.signature"))

;; for mail use         
         
         ("nnml.private"
         (From "Cor <cor@clsnet.nl>")
         (signature-file "~/.priv-sig"))))

Hope it helps a bit.
