You have a few options for reading mail in Emacs: - Gnus: This is built into Emacs and there's some info on using it with gmail at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail - VM (View Mail): Not part of Emacs but you can get info at http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/ - Rmail: Built in, but I don't know if it supports IMAP. I've used both Gnus and VM but these mail readers are not Windows-specific. I currently use Gnus, but VM is a little easier to set up (at least for me). For VM, all you may need in your ~/.emacs is: (autoload 'vm "vm" "Start VM on your primary inbox." t) (autoload 'vm-other-frame "vm" "Like `vm' but starts in another frame." t) (autoload 'vm-visit-folder "vm" "Start VM on an arbitrary folder." t) (autoload 'vm-visit-virtual-folder "vm" "Visit a VM virtual folder." t) (autoload 'vm-mode "vm" "Run VM major mode on a buffer" t) (autoload 'vm-mail "vm" "Send a mail message using VM." t) (autoload 'vm-submit-bug-report "vm" "Send a bug report about VM." t) (setq vm-spool-files (list "imap:yourImapHostname:143:inbox:login:yourUserName:*")) obviously replacing yourImapHostname and yourUserName with what makes sense for you. I pulled out what I think in the minimum to get started but more info on VM installation and configuration is at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryViewMail. Hope that helps.
