I don't know. So you have mails like this: ~/Maildir -> top level ~/Maildir/inbox -> fetched mail And Gnus, using nnmaildir, is not refreshing the list of articles in the inbox? I have a very similar setup and it works fine, without offlineimap. Could offlineimap be doing something to the article flags or moving them around that would confuse Gnus? As far as the directory/folder names, I guess Gnus is not conformant with the Maildir++ format. I didn't realize that earlier, sorry, but I see the problem now. I don't know how to fix it, though it seems like a simple matter of accepting directory names that start with a period except for ".nnmaildir". Since nnmaildir accepts symlinks, you could just link every folder name from .ABC to ABC after running offlineimap. That might be a good compromise.
