In my concrete case, the mail archive is in the Archive data structure, whereas the incoming mail structure is in Mail in my home directory. Consequently, all search results (falsely) end up in my home directory, where Gnus does not find them. d> This means, the 'base' path in .mairixrc and the base path of your d> mail folders have to be the same. Considering that many people use different backends for archival and incoming mail, I think that is not a safe assumption to make. I think nnmairix should use 'nnml-directory' instead, which is where the path for the mail folders are configured in Gnus, or the appropriate variable for other backends. As an added benefit, nnmairix should then also work in situations with "mixed" backends, because they are not illegal, some people use them for reasons that may not be entirely obvious, and nnmairix should not choke on this, imho.
