I finally decided to see if I could get rid of the the ~/Mail link which
links to my "real" Mail in ~/.emacs.d
I had my suspicions it was linked to archiving.
Reading the manual I see I can specifiy the archive method thus:-
,----
| gnus-message-archive-method is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is (nnfolder "archive"
| (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
| (nnfolder-active-file "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/active")
| (nnfolder-directory "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/"))
|
| Original value was "archive"
`----
From my understanding the original value of "archive" expands to
,----
|
| (nnfolder "archive"
| (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
| (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
| (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
| (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))
`----
(is ~/Mail really hardcoded? As opposed to being based on the
gnus-directory setting which I have set to ~/.emacs.d ?)
My value of gnus-method-group is
,----
| gnus-message-archive-group is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is ((if
| (message-news-p)
| nil
| (concat "mail-"
| (format-time-string "%Y"))))
`----
When I try to send an email plugged or unplugged I get this backtrace
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
| file-name-as-directory(nil)
| nnheader-concat(nil "active")
| (defvar nnfolder-active-file (nnheader-concat nnfolder-directory "active") ("/home/shamrock/.emacs.d/nognus/lisp/nnfolder.elc" . 1827))
| require(nnfolder)
| gnus-server-opened((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t) (nnfolder-active-file "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-directory "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/")))
| gnus-check-server((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t) (nnfolder-active-file "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-directory "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/")))
| gnus-inews-do-gcc()
| gnus-agent-possibly-do-gcc()
| run-hooks(message-sent-hook)
| message-send(nil)
| message-send-and-exit(nil)
| call-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil nil)
`----
Something obvious?
regards
r.

I'm not sure about your other problems, but here's what I use to put
everything in .emacs.d.
;; put everything in ~/.emacs.d
(setq gnus-init-file "~/.emacs.d/gnus.el"
gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d"
mail-default-directory "~/.emacs.d"
message-directory "~/.emacs.d/Mail"
bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/bbdb")

Problem solved : earlier customisations had seen nnfolder-directory
stored in my custom. Removed and now works. Me bad on that one.
