Could some kind soul share their gnus archive settings please. My
archive group is always marked as closed. I tried the example direct
from the manual.


(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      '(nnfolder "archive"
        (nnfolder-directory (expand-file-name "~/Mail/archive"))
        (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
        (nnfolder-active-file (expand-file-name
      "~/Mail/archive/active")))) 

(dirs exist)

Also, should nndrafts be automatic? or do I need a specific select? Its
not clear to me from the manual and I dont have any custom settings
which could disable it.

I use this (unchanged since last millenium, I think, so things may be
outdated, but it Works For Me(tm)):

  ; Mark gcc'ed (archive) as read:
  (setq gnus-gcc-mark-as-read t)

  ;  Archive outgoing articles:
  (setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnml "archive"
                                           (nnml-directory "~/Mail/archive")
                                           (nnml-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
                                           (nnml-get-new-mail nil)
                                           (nnml-inhibit-expiry t)))

  (setq gnus-message-archive-group
        '((if (message-news-p)
              (concat "news-" (format-time-string "%Y"))
            (concat "mail-" (format-time-string "%Y")))))


  Best regards,

    Adam

You set nnfolder-directory to the list `(expand-file-name
"~/Mail/archive")', but it is supposed to be a string.  If you want to
evaluate the list you need to do so explicitly.

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      `(nnfolder "archive"
        (nnfolder-directory ,(expand-file-name "~/Mail/archive"))
        (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
        (nnfolder-active-file ,(expand-file-name "~/Mail/archive/active")))) 

Read about backquote in the Emacs Lisp manual (*note (elisp) Backquote::).
