Hi, I have been using nnmaildir together with offlineimap and notmuch for my Gmail and Outlook email accounts. This turns out to work reasonably well (even though slower than notmuch.el but bearable.) However a small annoyance is that nnmaildir does not subscribe to the Gmail specific folders by default, e.g. "[Gmail].Sent Mail", "[Gmail].Spam", etc. With some initial digging I found that they are given group level 9 which I think is the reason.
I then tried to use `gnus-subscribe-group' to manually subscribe them. This kind of worked and those folders did show up in the topic buffer. But then they are not scanned for new messages by default until I manually checked them (by hitting RET on each one.) And this state is reset next time I launch Gnus, which is cumbersome. Note that this is happening on nnmaildir backend. When using nnimap those folders are subscribed by default, which I think means that they are given a lower group level value in nnimap. So I wonder how a group level is determined in nnmaildir and why it's different than in nnimap? Hopefully this can help me understand the internals of Gnus better so that I can change the settings to meet my expectations better. Thanks in advance! -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
