So ~/Maildir is itself a maildir, and also contains other maildirs?  I
don't think that will break anything, but it is unusual.

Can we see the Lisp forms as reported by [C-h v], rather than the
customize interface?

`mail-sources' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "mail-source"

Value: ((maildir))

According to the docs the path above is default, so I have taken it out.

`nnmail-split-methods' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "nnmail"

Value: 
(("alm" "From:.*alm") 
("alm" "From:.*a.l.meyers") 
("bsd" "Delivered-To:.*@netbsd.org") 
("linmaf" "From:.*pkg-annc-admin") 
("linux" "Sender:.*gentoo-user-admin") 
("mailer" "From:.*MAILER-DAEMON")
("Sort" ""))

More info:

repeating [d] or [c] tells me that the value of each nnmaildir
group is nil. It goes through all the groups. However, the groups exist,
can be entered from the Groups buffer and contain old messages. Use ^
RET to enter the Servers buffer shows that nnmaildir (2 of them) are
open, populated with groups and the groups subscribed.
