+Well this is embarrassing, but this was indeed the case. I had cleaned\r
+the Maildir from what I thought were leftover symlinks from some time\r
+long ago. Actually, I had a script that creates, with symlinks, a copy\r
+of my mailbox without the dots in the directory names for use with Mutt.\r
+I had left out parameter -T from 'ln' so my script also created weird\r
+symlinks at ~/Maildir, and thus resurrected the links I thought I\r
+cleaned up. And the links were indeed the problem.\r
+\r
+Everything is working now. Sorry and thanks!\r
