I have nndraft-directory set to ~/Mail but drafts are still stored in
~/.emacs.d/drafts/drafts.
Since nndraft is automatically created, how do I set the "server
variable" nndraft-directory to point to my ~/Mail or is the issue
elsewhere?

OK, ignore that : one of the perils of keeping parts of ones gnus config
in a gpg file is that you can easily forget about them ....
Solved.

Good catch. For the archive, I have the path to ~/Mail/archive in my
.newsrc.eld. So the directory is created when Gnus started. I edited the
backend in the *Server* buffer and I think the problem is gone.
Now, I need to do the same thing for the nndraft backend.
Unfortunately, this backend is not editable. I suppose I can customize
it as a secondary method? I have tried something like this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nndraft ""
(nndraft-directory (nnheader-concat message-directory "drafts")))))
#+end_src
Unfortunately, as soon as I replay to a message, the initial directory
is created... What's odd is that saving my reply (C-x C-s) results in
writing to the specified location...

I had a similar issue recently. I wanted to move the Mail and News
directories to another location. I did not have your problem exactly,
probably because I use nntp as my gnus-select-method and the nnimap's as
gnus-secondary-select-methods. But ~/Mail/archive kept being created
even after changing nnfolder-active-file and it was driving me crazy.
The documentation of the variable that you mention and of
nnfolder-active-file mention that they are "Gnus server variables". I
understood after reading (info "(gnus) Server Variables") that for my
case I could not set it simply with a setq, this was needed:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq message-directory "~/path_that_I_wanted/Mail/")
(setq gnus-message-archive-method
'(nnfolder "archive"
(nnfolder-directory
"~/path_that_I_wanted/Mail/archive/")
(nnfolder-active-file
"~/path_that_I_wanted/Mail/archive/active")
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
(setq gnus-update-message-archive-method t)
#+END_SRC
For your case probably you have to explicitly set all the variables from
the nndraft group in a similar way. Perhaps someone can clarify server
variables further.
Best,
Jorge.

I have them set to /home/bernat/.emacs.d/run/gnus and
/home/bernat/.emacs.d/run/gnus/Mail without any change.

I have this early in my init.el before anything that my load Gnus
(setq gnus-directory "~/news")
(setq message-directory "~/mail")
Does that solve your issue?

Hi!
Despite removing it multiple times, the directory `~/Mail/drafts` keep
being recreated by Gnus. `nndraft-directory` is set to
`/home/bernat/.emacs.d/run/gnus/drafts/`. What could recreate the
directory?

Make sure all variables are initialised before use.
