Yes, the backend that uses the Maildir format is nnmaildir; that was

It is because you seem to only accept one use of the word "spool". Think
of it as a news spool just with mail in it, instead of a mail spool as
in /var/spool/mail/.
Sometimes it is more apparant than other times that Gnus originated as a
newsreader :-)

You must have configured something else to point to ~/.emacs.d/Mail.
Perhaps your archive method?
I think you are staring at one thing in your configuration and ignoring
all the other stuff, which might actually the cause of what you are
seeing :-)
