I'm running Ubuntu Feisty, dovecot as an IMAP server, and Gnus v. 5.11. I'm using the Maildir format. One thing I noticed is that if I go down into ~/Maildir, there's a directory, whose name starts with a dot, for every folder that I see in other mail readers. And, each of these directories have a subdirectory named cur. Every directory that is except for .INBOX. E.g., there's a .Trash/cur, a .Sent/cur, etc. But, there's no .INBOX/cur. From looking at the contents, it looks like Inbox's cur is right in Maildir - it's at ~/Maildir/cur. Is this the problem? Do I have to somehow tell gnus that Inbox is structured a little differently on the filesystem? I can't imagine that I would have to. I imagine gnus is going to dovecot, and it's dovecot reading off the filesystem...
