This setup seems inconsistent to me: when using Maildir, you are
supposing that the emails are already there were they should be, and
settin up mail-sources means that you want to tell Gnus where to get the
emails from.

I am using a different setup to make Gnus use Maildir (+OfflineIMAP):

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")
      gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nntp "dfn" (nntp-address "news.cis.dfn.de"))
                                      (nntp "gmane" (nntp-address "news.gmane.org"))
                                      (nnmaildir "uni" (directory "~/Mail"))))

I don't use mail-sources in any way.

Hope that helps,

  Daniel
