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'...
