Deleting the .nnmaildir directories while Gnus is running would cause
problems. Exit Gnus, then delete the "nov" and "num" directories in
all of your .nnmaildir directories. (You can keep the "marks"
directories so you don't lose read/replied/etc. information. The
problem is likely to be in "nov" or "num" anyway.) Then start Gnus
again and see if anything still goes wrong.
Also note that deleting the "num" directories will make nnmaildir
reassign article number starting from 1. This can cause problems if
you use the cache or agent, since they identify articles by number.
But if you've already caused damage by deleting the directories while
Gnus was running, then deleting the "num" directories again probably
won't do any more harm.
