Gnus generates .nnmaildir directories causing mbsync to fail

[Marc Coquand]

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
