During the following, do not send a message.
I presume that nnml is your primary mail backend, and that you are
satisfied with a single nnml:outgoing group, which is on the same
server as your other nnml mail.
>From the *Group* buffer, use `G m outgoing RET nnml: RET' (note the
colon) to create your new outgoing group.
Enter the nnfolder+archive:misc-mail group with C-u RET and make sure
to display all articles.
Type `M P a' to mark them all.
Type `B m nnml:outgoing RET' to move them all to the new archive
group, preserving marks.
Change your setting for gnus-message-archive-group from "misc-mail" to
"nnml:outgoing" (with "nnml:"). The value for
gnus-message-archive-method does not really matter -- just leave it as
it is.
Does this help?
