Subject: Gnus generates .nnmaildir directories causing mbsync to fail
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2024 21:00:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <878r1a6rhp.fsf@mccd.space> (raw)


Heya!

I'm trying to setup Gnus with maildir. I've setup the following:

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnmaildir "personal"
                   (nnmail-expiry-target "nnmaildir+personal:Trash")
                   (directory "~/mail-home"))))

It reads the directory without issue, but when I try to sync I get an
error that there is a folder .nnmaildir created, which I believe is done
by gnus.

Is there a way to setup gnus so it doesn't generate these metadata files
within the directories?


Thanks in advance
