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. :)
