How about:

~/Mail:

,----[ C-h v message-directory RET ]
| `message-directory' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "message"
| 
| Value: "~/Mail/"
| 
| Documentation:
| *Directory from which all other mail file variables are derived.
`----

~/News:

,----[ C-h v gnus-directory RET ]
| `gnus-directory' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "gnus"
| 
| Value: "~/News/"
| 
| Documentation:
| *Directory variable from which all other Gnus file variables are derived.
| 
| Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the `.gnus.el' file is read.
| This means that other directory variables that are initialized from
| this variable won't be set properly if you set this variable in `.gnus.el'.
| Set this variable in `.emacs' instead.
`----

(and your 'gnus-message-archive-method'). Note: I haven't tried this,
so I don't know how much more, if anything, you need to set.


Where in the manual did you look? I just searched for '~/Mail' and
'~/News'...
