The bigger bugs for me in gnus is its inferior maildir support: it fail
to properly mark mail as read, it use its own meta-data file that can
cause problem to other mail client.... Hence the configs (as Sacha Chua
does) where one use dovecot to read maildir, letting gnus to connect to
dovecot instead of reading maildir directly.
