IIUC you expect $MAILDIR/inbox to work as a folder. Folders are a Maildir++ extension, whose spec is here: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html According to that spec, folder names must start with a period: 'Folders are created as subdirectories under the main Maildir. The name of the subdirectory always starts with a period. For example, a folder named "Important" will be a subdirectory called ".Important". You can't have subdirectories that start with two periods.' I don't know if there are extensions to this standard, but this is pretty definitive so I don't think it's a Gnus bug.
