No, but I can help on the Gnus front:

Gnus agent supports disconnected operation but is very slow, even
compared to other poorly performing options.
Gnus only supports fetching entire articles, not parts.
Gnus, through NNIR, does integrate IMAP searching; it also uses the
expunge model correctly.
In general it is tolerable but far from perfect. I do, however, use it
in IMAP mode to handle my mail on a full time basis with no significant
issues.
