Can one do the same for nnmbox backend with this present structure,
which I read with mutt:
$ ls ~/Mail
amazon gaemanue-l mbox plug spam
drafts hlawson-system-box marketplace-messages outbox saved
Each is a filename with the unix mbox form, containing many messages.
The goal is to just read this email in gnus to see if I like it, but
not to make any surprising changes.
