Maildir as simultaneous spool and backend. |

I'm using Gnus v5.11 from cvs'ed emacs 23. Fetchmail and maildrop
deliver to ~/Maildir like this:
Archives
cur
new
Spam
tmp
The Archives directory contains a bunch of sub-Maildirs:
Commerce
cur
new
Sent
tmp
Ubuntu
(etc.)
I want Gnus to use a single Maildir as both my spool and backend.
Relevant configuration:
(setq mail-sources nil)
(setq gnus-select-method
`(nnmaildir "localhost"
(directory "~/Maildir")
(expire-age never)))
All I see in the groups buffer is
*: nndraft:drafts
*: nndraft:queue
*: nnmaildir+localhost:Archives
*: nnmaildir+localhost:Spam
I don't see my new mail, nor can I find a way to descend into the
Archives directory and see the sub-maildirs within it. How do I do
that?
Is it okay to use one Maildir as both the 'spool' and 'backend' for
Gnus? I like to use fetchmail and maildrop to get the mail from my 9
imap and pop accounts into the Maildir, as I like having my mail
local, and can run more than one mail client without worrying about
locking. I can change around the fetchmail and maildrop configuration
to accomodate gnus, but I'd really rather not have separate spool and
backend Maildirs.
Thanks!
