The value `nil nil' means you've never read articles and you've never marked articles in that group, but it is syntactically correct. If you enter that group, you should be able to read all articles as unread. The real problem is that Gnus doesn't open the group in question correctly. > Coule I manually edit them? Whould it help? The "nnfolder+archive:all" group entry in the gnus-newsrc-alist variable saved in your .newsrc.eld file should be maintained by Gnus. I don't think it gets better even if you edit it manually. I'm sorry that I cannot reproduce the same bad behavior. If it occurs on me, I'll investigate all the Gnus functions related to this step by step using edebug for example. (I personally will not use the mail directory which is not the default or the methods which aren't popular since I don't believe they have been fully tested, though.)
