At the same time I removed all custom settings for things like archive methods, archive backend etc ditto for drafts. My init settings for file locations are pretty much the following (setq gnus-init-file nil gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/" mail-default-directory "~/.emacs.d/" message-directory "~/.emacs.d/Mail/" ) which I borrowed from Antoine. I removed all old draft, archive and Mail directories assuming gnus would create them as defaults. Upon starting Gnus afresh I got this:- 1) Drafts Warning: Opening nndraft server...failed: No such file or directory: ~/.emacs.d/drafts/; Denied server nndraft So it seems to fail to create the draft directory itself. I then looked into my server list and get this:- ,---- | {nndraft:} (denied) `---- Hmm. I then looked into my .emacs.d and Gnus *had* created ~/.emacs.d/drafts. But *after* issuing the failure messages and denying access it seems. I would think this a bug? 2) Archive ,---- | {nnfolder:archive} (error) `---- There is no indication of why the archive failed even if I turn up gnus-verbose. This is using the default gnus-message-archive-group and default gnus-message-archive-method. This was the case with HEAD and n0-15. Can I debug this further somehow?
