Probably my worthless $.02, but I am using a single-drop fetchmail
mailbox, and a proper list of regexp-filters in my ~/.gnus to split
incoming mail in nnml:* folders which XEmacs handles exactly like
newgroups, and it all kind of feels cool.
But then again, I am probably too much of an Emacs fan, so you have to
ignore me :)
Fetchmail works nicely with sendmail, but you need a properly configured
sendmail in order to use it. AFAIK, with or without fetchmail you have
to configure sendmail *correctly* though.
Ciao.
