hmmm ... none of this worked for me.
i tried 

(setq  gnus-directory "~/.emacs.d/"
       mail-default-directory "~/"
       message-directory "~/Maildir/")

and variations, but it didn't even pick up the gnus-directory in the
init.el file. anyway, not a problem because everything else is working
fine (though the edit menu disappears from the menubar from time to time
and i haven't figured out a pattern to it yet).

thx!
