mu does not directly support gnus at this moment. It shouldn't be too hard to
add I suppose (using the 'old method') in the blog post; all that's needed is
for gnus to visit a named Maildir (and resyncing the contents when doing so).

It might also be possible to adapt of the mairix scripts for gnus for this.

That's nice to hear - it's just a like hack though, I'm using mug (and better,
mug2) to develop the components of a more complete GUI step-by-step.

Best wishes,
