That's working, but from what I read, gnus support for maildir has its
problems.

Yes, that's what I have.


So my problems are with dovecot: In Maildir-free (synced from another
IMAP server I'm also setting up), I only synced the "General"
folder. But running

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-free
* LIST "" *
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

lists only an INBOX folder which isn't there...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* LIST "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX
* OK List completed.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Here is the output of ls in this dir, with no INBOX folder in

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ls ~/Maildir/free
General          dovecot-uidvalidity           maildirfolder
cur              dovecot-uidvalidity.5629f967  new
dovecot-uidlist  dovecot.index.log             tmp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe this INBOX remains from previous attempts, how can I clear all of
dovecot cache if that's what it is ?

Julien.
