What could recreate the > directory? I had a similar issue recently. I wanted to move the Mail and News directories to another location. I did not have your problem exactly, probably because I use nntp as my gnus-select-method and the nnimap's as gnus-secondary-select-methods. But ~/Mail/archive kept being created even after changing nnfolder-active-file and it was driving me crazy. The documentation of the variable that you mention and of nnfolder-active-file mention that they are "Gnus server variables". I understood after reading (info "(gnus) Server Variables") that for my case I could not set it simply with a setq, this was needed: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq message-directory "~/path_that_I_wanted/Mail/") (setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/path_that_I_wanted/Mail/archive/") (nnfolder-active-file "~/path_that_I_wanted/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))) (setq gnus-update-message-archive-method t) #+END_SRC For your case probably you have to explicitly set all the variables from the nndraft group in a similar way. Perhaps someone can clarify server variables further. Best, Jorge.
