After 9+ years of running my own mail server, I have given up. Spam wins. I switched the MX record for cyphertext.net to point to gmail today. Goodbye, Gnus. I'll miss you. (Though it really was past time for me to join this decade.)
I do notice the lack of folders, but they do have "labels", which are like tags on Livejournal, and you can set up filters to automagically add those. Then you can click so that you see only things with that label.
So it's *like* having folders in that you can sort to see just those messages, but unlike having folders in that those messages aren't out of sight when you're looking at your main inbox. (I'm still poking about at it. It may have a 'view only unlabeled messages' view, in which case that would be like seeing only the stuff you haven't sorted out.)

There's also that little matter of a dozen years' worth of archived email that would get disconnected from its future...
