It's slightly unelegant to have a ~/Mail/nnfolder and ~/Mail/nnml directory structure. I guess the manual should be made clearer to indicate the possible problems of sharing a single directory for multiple backends. Maybe even the default values for nnml-directory and nnfolder-directory etc. should be changed to use separate directories to avoid possible pitfalls.
