In addition to my previous post, it just happened again where my
nnml+brett:Inbox showed in the Group buffer that there were 3 new
messages, but in the summary buffer, only two messages showed up. I've
looked in my fetchmail log and there's no error with it retrieving and
delivering the mail locally, and there's no errors in the postfix log
either - it says it delivered the e-mails succesfully. However in the
Messages buffer, the following is displayed:

You'll see that one of my e-mails (4816) was delivered to my
.mairix/Inbox folder - .mairix being my path for the mairix search
engine I use. Does anyone know why in the world some e-mails would be
getting delivered to the Mairix backend instead of my nnml backend? In
my .gnus, I simply have:

 (require 'nnmairix)

There's no other mairix configuration in there. And in my .mairixrc I
have:

 base=~/Mail
 mformat=mh
 mh=*...
 database=~/.mairixdatabase

I realise this isn't Gnus-specific now that Mairix is involved, but
hopefully someone here can give me a hand. In the meanwhile, I'm going
to keep an eye on those directories for my missing e-mails. Thanks!

Brett.
