It is, but it doesn't work. Somehow gnus-options-subscribe and
gnus-auto-subscribed-groups have precedence over
gnus-options-not-subscribe. I reported that issue some time ago, but
didn't get a response.

It's a feature. ;-)

Some people are not comfortable with some program creating new folders
on their primary mail back end, so you can simply create another (nnml
or nnmaildir) and let nnmairix use that one. Also, you can have several
nnmairix servers (e.g. for current and archived mail, or for local and
remote), and then you have to specify different back ends for them so
they don't mess each other up.
