Trying this apparently screwed up nnmaildir entirely. :-/

When I try to enter the group, I see

 Retrieving newsgroup: nnmaildir:mairix...
 Fetching headers for nnmaildir:mairix...done
 Suppressing duplicates...done
 No articles in the group
 No more unread newsgroups
 No unread news

which is a lie, when doing ls -lR in the folder, I see

 greve@cerebro:~/.nnmaildir/mairix$ ls -lR
 .:
 total 12
 drwx------ 2 greve greve 4096 2007-09-27 23:30 cur
 drwx------ 2 greve greve 4096 2007-09-27 23:30 new
 drwx------ 2 greve greve 4096 2007-09-27 22:55 tmp

 ./cur:
 total 104
 -rw-r--r-- 1 greve greve 100919 2007-09-27 23:30 123456789.89799.mairix:2,

 ./new:
 total 0

 ./tmp:
 total 0

so there is an article in the group, but there seems to be no way to
enter it, or to get Gnus to see that article. Tried deleting and
readding the group, but that also didn't help.

Help appreciated.

Regards,
Georg
