Are those setq's really in the ~/.emacs file?

When fetching mails, the value of `mail-source-directory' will
be used as the mail directory. It defaults to the value of
`message-directory' (defaults to "~/Mail/"); the value you
customized will be reflected if and only if it is set in
the ~/.emacs file and no Gnus' el(c) module is loaded before it
is set. A workaround may be:
(setq mail-source-directory "~/gnus/Mail/")
But I don't recommend customizing such variables of Gnus' basic.
I think it may cause an unexpected influence that even the author
doesn't know. :)
