Gnus does not see new mail in Maildirs

Gnus does not see new mail in Maildirs

[Alexis Praga]

Hi,

When fetching new mails with 'g', Gnus does not see the new mail in my 
inbox and I have to restart it in order to show them.
New mail arrive in ~/Mail/inbox/new and Gnus move it automatically to 
~/Mail/inbox/cur.
Also, the 'inbox' group disappears when fetch new mail !
Here's my config :

(setq
         gnus-select-method '(nnmaildir "" (directory "~/Mail/"))
         mail-sources '((maildir :path "~/Mail/inbox/" :subdirs ("cur" 
"new")))
)

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)
(setq gnus-message-archive-group "nnmaildir+inbox:Sent/cur")
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions
       '((not gnus-thread-sort-by-date)))



Cheers,

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
