Hello Ted, thanks for your help, however I not yet figured out what's wrong with my setup.

Does the ".mail.misc" Maildir > directory exist under the Maildir root of that server? Just to make it clear for me: Is the server directory the directory given in the secondary select method, so in my case (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnmaildir "" (directory "~/maildir")))) ~/maildir would be the Maildir root of that server? > Does it exist > anywhere on your system? No. I created it under ~/maildir (including the subdirs new, cur and tmp), however this didn't help. > How is the server configured? The contents of which variables do you mean here? > Can you try > making a new nnmaildir server if the Maildir exists? I added a new secondary select method, also nnmaildir, directory ~/maildirnew with subdirectories new, cur, tmp. It shows up in the server buffer, but the server seems to contain no mail.misc either. > The Maildir should have been created persistently on disk, and should be > visible when you browse the server.

I also tried moving .newsrc.eld to a backup, apt-get remove emacs22, apt-get install emacs22. gnus is part of the emacs22 package on my system. When I first exited gnus, it generated a new .newsrc.eld, however, this didn't help either. Am I right, that after the installation of emacs/gnus, it must execute some code for setting up things like the mail.misc group? If yes, is this code written in lisp, and do you know where the starting point is. Overwriting / regenerating the complete configuration of gnus would be perfectly ok for me, as I didn't yet make anything except setting things up in gnus.
