Well, I deliver into a maildir from my MDA, and want to use it as a mail-source in Gnus since I like splitting with Gnus. > Yes and no. mail-sources always needs an intermediate storage: it > copies the messages from the spots specified in mail-sources to temp > files, then from there into the groups.

Consistancy is good, but I wonder how hard it would be to skip that part with maildirs? (since you don't need the locking required for other mail-sources) I guess I wouldn't mind as much if a format other than mbox was used for temporary storage.
