Hi,

gnus is accessing my emails via IMAP (courier-imapd), with the emails
stored in maildir format. What would happen if I was to switch back and
forth between nnimap and nnmaildir select methods, accessing the same
maildir folders either way?

Will it have any bad effects when accessing the same emails with other
IMAP clients, or with other MUAs (like mutt) that access the maildir
folders directly?
