What was the previous version/date of SUMO?  Maybe this is related to
the changes Steve mentioned in [1].  Maybe they removed an autoload?

Please do `M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET', repeat the problem and post
the resulting backtrace.

Probably nnmaildir should use `nnheader-cancel-timer' instead of
`cancel-timer'.  To test this, please eval this expression:

  (defalias 'cancel-timer 'nnheader-cancel-timer) ; <== Press C-x C-e

... and then try to reproduce the error again.  Does the error happen
again?

Bye, Reiner.
