Do I need to change something in my offlineimap setup, or in > Gnus' ? I finally got it right. In case someone stumbles on the same problem: I was using --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- type = Maildir localfolders = ~/email/Maildir/Free --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- in the local repository setting of .offlineimaprc and --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (nnimap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/email/Maildir/Gmail:LAYOUT=fs") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- so I guess that offlineimap was writing the INBOX messages in an actual INBOX folder, whereas dovecot was expecting them at the root of the Maildir. Changing the .offlineimaprc setting to: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- type = IMAP preauthtunnel = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/email/Maildir/Free:LAYOUT=fs --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- fixed it. Now only dovecot is writing messages in the Maildir, at least that's my understanding. Julien.
