OK, thanks! Somehow it just worked  after changing my mail source from
maildir to mbox format. I guess the gnus nnml-backend v5.10 had problems
with the source being in maildir format.

One other strange thing though, if I remove the files from
$HOME/Mail/mail/misc/ and move in mail from my gnus v5.6 after using the
directory with v5.10, the Summary Buffer still displays the new list of
articles/mails. That is kinda strange, because I just deleted them and
replaced them with some other ones, it must hence be cached somewhere.

Where does gnus store its Summary Buffer cache? I haven't been able to
locate where it caches the mail summary. And how can I force gnus to
re-read the folder and generate a new Summary Buffer?
