For example, (setq gnus-message-archive-group "nnimap+imap.example.com:Sent") And that should be enough for most users, especially those using imap. Then the manual page could go on to more complicated set-ups: If you don't have an existing server that can be used for storing outgoing mail, see gnus-message-archive-server below. The variable gnus-message-archive group can also be set to: a list of strings ... [fill in the same list of possibilities] If you want to set-up a special server for archiving messages, you can use the gnus-message-archive-method variable. ... fill in more here ... But this last part is so complicated. The default nnfolder "archive" server created on first use, the gnus-update-message-archive-method variable, etc. Maybe it can be avoided? Maybe just give sample code the user can use to add an nnfolder server to gnus-secondary-select-methods, and then they can use the it in the -archive-group variable? Dan
