So that explains why all my mail groups started to be prefixed with
"nnml:". I solved the "problem" by using %G instead of %g in
gnus-group-line-format.

Yes... Now I just had a look at my .newsrc.eld file. And it turned out
that the expire-target for my Inbox was "Inbox-archive". When I
changed that into "nnml:Inbox-archive" it worked! I can now expire
mails from my Inbox once again.

I now understand why Gnus tried to use my primary select method when
moving mails to Inbox-archive.

Thanks for the help!
