When I had

,----
| ;; (setq gnus-message-archive-method
| ;;       '(nnfolder "gnus-arc"
| ;; 		 (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
| ;; 		 (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
| ;; 		 (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
| ;; 		 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
`----

gnus screwed up it's active file.  Last time I tried the same but with
`nnfolder-directory' set to ~/Mailarchive and `nnfolder-active-file' set
to ~/Mailarchive/active.  The result was that when splitting mail, some
or all of the mail was put into groups of the archive server rather than
into the native nnml groups where they were supposed to go, and I had to
recover from the backup.

Now I have an "{nnfolder:archive} (opened)" entry in the server view. I
didn't specify that, and it cannot be edited or deleted.

When `gcc-self' is set in `gnus-parameters' or when a "Gcc" header is
set in a posting style[1], the archive group is always ignored.

So how did you get it to work?  How do I get rid of an archive server I
don't want?


[1]: When you specify other headers in a posting style, setting
     `gcc-self` is ignored, so you have to set it as one of the headers
     in the posting style.

Yeah, that would be nice to have.

Well, I have a group like that, probably created by nndiary, which
doesn't work, either.  There are two nndiary servers in the server view
that cannot be edited or removed.
