Yes, its author did great work. I expect Mew replace WL but 
for instance WL interface is better and more complete.

Yes. I agree. It's awful. The documentation is really bad too.
I use a really stable CVS version (2007-12) and the mailing list are
still active. So I don't see it as a dead project. (perhaps it should
be upgraded in the next Emacs Carbon.

In any case (and to conclude with this thread), Emacs22 is good for
mail/news and with org/planner/howm it's even better than most of the
standard MUA (Mail.app/Outlook/Eudora..).
