I had a hard time getting rid of these ~/Mail and ~/News directories
created each time I started gnus... (I even poked into the obarray
searching for these strings).

You should set gnus-message-archive-method to nil too...

BTW, I have a list of variables to set so that ~/Mail and ~/News
disappear definitively, in case you're interested.
