But why making it complex when it is not? That is contradictory to Maildir "standards". There is nothing to do to the Maildir directory but to read the To/From/Date/Subject to make the index of it. Then by clicking on the particular mail, it would open the file. Anything else is not "maildir standard". It should warn user that it makes much more to Maildir files than it is expected by standard. With my 47708 maildirs, it created this many directories inside, and duplicated the disk space that I was using. In regards to info page "articles are deleted after one week"... I am really worried about that. Email messages are named articles, this creates confusion, and that would further mean that some email messages which are supposed to stay, would be deleted unless user is skilled to configure the parameters. In general Gnus is not usable and is dangerous to Maildirs. It creates complexities where no such are required and necessary. Jean
