OK.. now I have the values set before gnus is loaded. Much better. And
most things seem to propery intitiate. However I *still* get a ~/Mail
created :-

,----
| [9096]shamrock@development:~$ ls -l Mail
| total 4
| drwxr-xr-x 2 shamrock shamrock 4096 Jan  8 01:29 archive
`----

My archive method is like this :-

,----
|  (setq gnus-message-archive-method 
|        '(nnfolder "archive"
| 	 	  (nnfolder-directory   "~/Dropbox/.main/Mail/archive")
| 		  (nnfolder-active-file "~/Dropbox/.main/Mail/archive/active")
| 		  (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
| 		  (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
`----

Is it not possible to lose the directory directives and have it based on the
other base settings? Am I missing a base setting (the nomenclature and
general Mail/News overlap makes it very hard to guess whats doinf what imo)

my setup pre load of gnus is now :-

,----
| (setq 
|       message-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/Mail/"
|       ;; nndraft-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/News/drafts/"
|       gnus-home-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/"
|       ;; gnus-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/News/"
|       ;; gnus-default-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/"
|       ;; gnus-article-save-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/News/"
|       ;; gnus-kill-files-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/News/"
|       ;; gnus-cache-directory "~/Dropbox/.main/News/cache/"
|       gnus-startup-file "~/.emacs.d/.newsrc"
|       gnus-use-dribble-file nil
|       bbdb-file "~/.emacs.d/.bbdb"
|       nnfolder-directory   "~/Dropbox/.main/Mail/archive"
|       nnfolder-active-file "~/DropBox/.main/Mail/archive/active"
|       )
`----

So, how to stop this "unnecessary" Mail dir being created?
