It doesn't work in the sense that gnus is going on storing the mail
I send in its default `~/Mail/archive' directory.
I've set the `gnus-message-archive-group' variable to the value 'all'.
I'm using the Gnus version 5.11, included in Emacs CVS 21.3.50.1 of 2005-03-13.

I did: `C-h v gnus-message-archive-method', and the following appeared:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
gnus-message-archive-method's value is
(nnfolder "archive"
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
(nnfolder-active-file "~/News/sent-mail/active")
(nnfolder-directory "~/News/sent-mail/"))
*Method used for archiving messages you've sent.
This should be a mail method.
You can customize this variable.
Defined in `gnus'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
, but, as I said before, sent mail is going on being stored
in the default directory `~/Mail/archive'.

. Instead, I have problem: gnus is going on storing the mail
I send in `~/Mail/archive'.
I'm really stuck! Any idea?
I'm showing my whole .gnus.el.
Thanks indeed,
Rodolfo

I guess you have the default archive method in your ~/.newsrc.eld
file. To examine it, type
C-h v gnus-server-alist RET
after starting up Gnus. Isn't there an item like the following?
("archive" nnfolder "archive"
(nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
(nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))
If it exists, it may have been made when the value of the
`gnus-message-archive-method' variable was "archive" (which is
the default).
Probably, the following header will appear in your message buffers.
Gcc: nnfolder+archive:all
When sending a message, Gnus parses the value of that header and
determine the method to archive the sent message. At that time,
if the `gnus-server-alist' variable holds the "archive" method, Gnus
uses it rather than the one defined in `gnus-message-archive-method'.
Furthermore, there's no opportunity to update the "archive" method
held in `gnus-server-alist'. We may say it is a bug. I don't have
an idea to fix it, though.
If your case comes under this, it will be solvable by the following
ways.
1. Start Emacs; start Gnus; quit Gnus, but don't quit Emacs.
2. Make a backup of the ~/.newsrc.eld file.
3. Copy the following Lisp form into the *scratch* buffer, and
evaluate it (type `C-j' at the end of the last line).
(let ((file "~/.newsrc.eld")
(coding-system-for-read gnus-ding-file-coding-system)
(coding-system-for-write gnus-ding-file-coding-system)
(default-enable-multibyte-characters t)
(print-quoted t) (print-readably t) (print-escape-multibyte nil)
(print-escape-nonascii t) (print-length nil) (print-level nil)
(print-escape-newlines t)
start alist arc)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents file)
(goto-char (point-min))
(when (re-search-forward "([\t\n ]*setq[\t\n ]+gnus-server-alist[\t\n ]"
nil t)
(goto-char (setq start (match-beginning 0)))
(setq alist (car (cdr (car (cdr (cdr (read (current-buffer))))))))
(skip-chars-forward "\t\n ")
(delete-region start (point))
(while (setq arc (assoc "archive" alist))
(setq alist (delq arc alist)))
(insert "(setq gnus-server-alist '" (prin1-to-string alist) ")\n")
(write-region (point-min) (point-max) file))))
4. Start Gnus.

Thanks indeed!
The problem seems to be fixed now.
But that problem is actually part of a more general one:
the customization of the gnus default ~/Mail and ~/News dirs.
I'll start a new thread for that.
Regards,
Rodolfo Medina
