The nnmaildir backend uses the .nnmaildir directory to store cached
headers and other information about your maildir messages, for faster
retrieval. Many people don't like this, and/or would prefer more
configurability, but at the moment there's no way around it. For now you
can tell notmuch to ignore that path with the "new.ignore" option in
your notmuch config.
HTH,
Eric
