Hm.  Well, do you really need it to be both foreign and secondary?
If it's foreign only, then Gnus won't check it for new groups, I
think.  If it's secondary only, then you have to change it by editing
your .gnus, not in the *Server* buffer.

I'm not sure.  But that's what it was when you started, right?  So at
least you wan't be any worse off.

I should have said that you shouldn't try restarting Gnus at this
point - you also need to fix gnus-message-archive-method first.

Looking at the code now, the default seems to be "archive", wihchi is
a server name, so "nnfolder:" ought to work.

So if you quit Gnus, set g-m-a-m, edit .newsrc.eld so
gnus-server-alist uses the "" name and not "archive", and restart
Gnus, then does it work?
