Thanks for your response. It is long time we communicated. I have been very busy, yet I haven't solved my problem. Here is some more information for you. Thanks for helping me.

Allright... But in my case it seems like Gnus-5.10.6 have not done that yet, probably because it claims that the group "all" does not exist in the first place, so it has not yet initialised that group (and created the .mrk/.marks file) > >> In other folder I have a ".marks" file.

I couldn't find out what sets it as t. Sorry, I must have mistyped here (or things have changed). It changes the value from t to nil. Even when setting it manually and putting `(setq nnfolder-marks-is-evil t)' in ~/.gnus > Well, the saved data for the "nnfolder+archive:all" group may be > broken in the ~/.newsrc.eld file.
