It seems (from the code and the manual) that nnmaildir descends only one level, unless a 'directory-files' is set in the select method (info "(gnus) Maildir").

Sorry, nevermind. It seems nnmaildir rereads rather than cache. > Lastly, I noticed the existence of > gnus-subscribe-hierarchical-interactive > > Its value is t > Original value was nil > > If non-nil, Gnus will offer to subscribe hierarchically. > When a new hierarchy appears, Gnus will ask the user: > > Descend hierarchy alt.binaries?

Or perhaps you have a 'target-prefix' in the select method? Something like (target-prefix "Free/ups-dir")? Please share your config if possible. Regards, James
