Subject: mail + gnus: Update mails without mu4e

This is the first and maybe the last step to remove the dependency on
mu4e.  I can now update mails without calling a mu4e function.  That
is virtually the only functionality I use of mu4e since a long time.

I shall have done this a long time ago, but I was too lazy to do so.
;D
