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
