Gnus uses its own window configuration management.

For instance, I have the following in .emacs:

  (gnus-add-configuration
   '(reply-yank
     (vertical 1.0
               (summary 0.25)
               (horizontal 1.0
                           (article 0.5)
                           (message 1.0 point)))))

It adds a new window configuration to `gnus-buffer-configuration'.
You can create any window layout you want after reading
(info "(gnus) Window Layout")
