Sorry for the delay in answering. Yes. You may want to give a name to this server, though. That may be triggering bugs in Gnus. Can you change that to a full name, e.g. "mymail", and try to find the misc group again?

You can use `B c' on an article to copy it to a new Maildir inside an existing nnmaildir server. For example, if your server is nnmaildir+x and you have no group "test" you could copy to "nnmaildir+x:test" and Gnus will both create the group and record its existence. This is a good way to find out what's wrong with your setup: just copy to a new group and see where (if at all) it shows up.
