In GNUS or Gnus, it might be best to just use the toggling functions
from the summary buffer to avoid getting nasty surprises. (For instance,

only a moderate amount of mail, @code{nnfolder} is probably the most
friendly mail back end all over.
+@item nnmaildir
+
+@code{nnmaildir} is largely similar to @code{nnml}, with some notable
+differences. Each message is stored in a separate file, but the
+filename is unrelated to the article number in Gnus. @code{nnmaildir}
+also stores the equivalent of @code{nnml}'s overview files in one file
+per article, so it uses about twice as many inodes as @code{nnml}. (Use
+@code{df -i} to see how plentiful your inode supply is.) If this slows
+you down or takes up very much space, consider switching to ReiserFS
+(@uref{http://www.namesys.com/}) or another non-block-structured
+filesystem.
+
+Since maildirs don't require locking for delivery, the maildirs you use
+as groups can also be the maildirs your mail is directly delivered to.
+This means you can skip Gnus's mail splitting if your mail is already
+organized into different mailboxes during delivery. A @code{directory}
+entry in @code{mail-sources} would have a similar effect, but would
+require one set of mailboxes for spooling deliveries (in mbox format,
+thus damaging message bodies), and another set to be used as groups (in
+whatever format you like). A maildir has a built-in spool, in the
+@code{new/} subdirectory. Beware that currently, mail moved from
+@code{new/} to @code{cur/} instead of via mail splitting will undergo
+treatment such as duplicate checking.
+
+An article will not necessarily keep the same number across Gnus
+sessions; articles are renumbered starting from 1 for each Gnus session
+(more precisely, each time you open the @code{nnmaildir} server). This
+way, you don't get gaps in your article number ranges, and when entering
+large groups, Gnus is likely to give a more accurate article count. The
+price is that @code{nnmaildir} doesn't work with the cache or agent.
+This will probably be changed in the future.
+
+@code{nnmaildir} stores article marks for a given group in the
+corresponding maildir, in a way designed so that it's easy to manipulate
+them from outside Gnus. You can tar up a maildir, unpack it somewhere
+else, and still have your marks. @code{nnml} also stores marks, but
+it's not as easy to work with them from outside Gnus as with
+@code{nnmaildir}.
+
+For configuring expiry and other things, @code{nnmaildir} uses group
+parameters slightly different from those of other mail backends.
+
+@code{nnmaildir} uses a significant amount of memory to speed things up.
+(It keeps in memory some of the things that @code{nnml} stores in files
+and that @code{nnmh} repeatedly parses out of message files.) If this
+is a problem for you, you can set the @code{nov-cache-size} group
+parameter to somthing small (0 would probably not work, but 1 probably
+would) to make it use less memory.
+
+Startup and shutdown are likely to be slower with @code{nnmaildir} than
+with other backends. Everything in between is likely to be faster,
+depending in part on your filesystem.
+
+@code{nnmaildir} does not use @code{nnoo}, so you cannot use @code{nnoo}
+to write an @code{nnmaildir}-derived backend.
