Hi,

I'm having a similar problem, however in my case I keep all of my mail
in the "~/Mail/" directory, and gnus continually creates the empty
"~/mail/archive" directory, which maps to my group naming scheme, namely
mail.inbox, mail.school, etc...

I've scoured my configuration for lines which could be generating the
"~/mail" directory, but to no avail.

Best -- Eric
