Eliminated the duplicate nntp:news, but the double nnml:mail
persisted.  Tracked it down to this line in my .newsrc.eld:

   (setq gnus-server-alist '(("archive" nnml "mail")))


I'm using "nnml:mail" everywhere, but with

   (setq gnus-server-alist '(("archive" . "nnml:mail")))

in .newsrc.eld Gnus signals and error ("nnml:mail" is not a list).


I've put this line here to prevent Gnus automatically creating an
(nnfolder "archive") group upon startup, which I do not need.

Removing this line eliminates the duplicate nnml:mail in the server
list, but then Gnus will create an nnfolder "archive" group and the
corresponding Mail/archive directory, despite I have the following
line in my .gnus:

   (setq gnus-message-archive-method "nnml:mail")


[...Time goes by...]


Hm, the following in .newsrc.eld did the trick:

   (setq gnus-server-alist '(("archive")))

No nnfolder group and no duplicates.  :-)


Auto creating this nnfolder thingie independently of what select
method the user chooses for archiving should not be done, I think.
