When I try to enter the server list with ^ I get the following entry:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
gnus-server-opened(((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))))
gnus-server-insert-server-line("archive" ((nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active") (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))))
gnus-server-prepare()
gnus-enter-server-buffer()
gnus-group-enter-server-mode()
call-interactively(gnus-group-enter-server-mode)
Checking the value of gnus-server-alist gives me the following:
(("archive"
(nnfolder "archive"
(nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
(nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))))
Problem though is that I don't _have_ a ~/Mail/archive folder, I have
removed all entries and pointers to it from .newsrc.eld and from my
.gnus file since long. I just noted this problem though, so it might
have been there for a while.
Where else could this be set? And how do I work around it?

That seems to come from the default value of
gnus-message-archive-method. If you always include "nnfoo:" in the
group names in your Gcc header fields, then
gnus-message-archive-method should always be ignored. And if you also
never use gnus-message-archive-group to generate your Gcc fields (you
can use gnus-outgoing-message-group, posting styles, etc., instead),
then you can set gnus-message-archive-method to nil. That might
silence this error, although the bug or misconfiguration causing it
may still be present.

I've never used Gcc until I tried it a bit today after experiencing
this problem, and I stumbled over the feature. Previously I've just
been lazy and BCC'd myself on what I wanted to keep.
The problem doesn't appear by setting gnus-message-archive-method to
nil though.
(setq gnus-server-alist '(("news.arrowhead.com" nntp "news.arrowhead.com")))
If I use this line though the problem disappears and I can enter the ^
(server) menu correctly. Although I see a "{nnfolder:nil} (opened)"
entry in there that I don't remember seing from before. Or am I just
confused?
Plus I can't add the above gnus-server-alist directive to my .gnus, if I do
the problem occurs even earlier. If I execute it manually after starting
Gnus it works. Annoying. :)
Any other ideas? Anything more you want to see of my settings/files?

I don't think that variable is supposed to be tweaked manually. It's
for Gnus's internal use, isn't it?

That's probably the default gnus-message-archive-method. Is that
variable nil when you see this? That would be strange. Maybe
something in your .newsrc.eld is corrupt.
