I tried that too, but it didn't help. But I noticed something funny this time: if I start gnus with `M-x gnus' or `M-x gnus-no-server', I don't get an error about the archive server. But I usually start it via a custom function which runs (gnus nil t), and when I do this I get the following backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (nnfolder "archi= ve" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/arc= hive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))) gnus-server-opened(((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archi= ve") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail = nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))) gnus-check-server(((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archiv= e") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail n= il) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))) gnus-read-active-file-1(((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/= archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-= mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))) nil) gnus-read-active-file(nil t) gnus-setup-news(nil nil t) byte-code("=84=0E=00 =84=0E=00=C6 =88=82O=00=C7=C8!=88=C9\n!=13\f=84=1E= =00=0D=83!=00=CA =88=0E=19=83.=00=CB =88=CC=CD=CE\"=88=CF=D0=0E=1A#=88=C7= =D1!=88=D2 =88=D3=0E=1A!=88=D4 =88=D5=D6!=88=D7 =88=C7=D8!=88=D0=87" [dont-= connect did-connect gnus-startup-file gnus-current-startup-file gnus-slave = gnus-use-dribble-file gnus-group-quit gnus-run-hooks gnus-startup-hook gnus= -make-newsrc-file gnus-dribble-read-file bbb-login add-hook gnus-summary-mo= de-hook gnus-grouplens-mode gnus-setup-news nil gnus-setup-news-hook gnus-s= tart-draft-setup gnus-group-list-groups gnus-group-first-unread-group gnus-= configure-windows group gnus-group-set-mode-line gnus-started-hook gnus-use= -grouplens level] 4) gnus-1(nil t nil) gnus(nil t) eval((gnus nil t)) eval-expression((gnus nil t) nil) call-interactively(eval-expression) I'm not sure why gnus behaves differently in this case. This is with g-m-arch-method set to "nnfolder:" and gnus-server-alist set to '(("" nnfolder "")). Maybe I should just let my nnfolder server be named "archive", but somehow I'd rather have it be my own private server, not one that gnus is assuming has any special uses.
