Ah, you're editing your .newsrc.eld. Now I see. I thought you had (setq gnus-server-alist ...) in your .gnus file. >> I think Gnus looks is there is an archive server when it >> starts up. If an archive server is missing, it creates one.

Gnus creates the archive server by default! (If gnus-message-archive-group is non-nil.) See the variable gnus-message-archive-method. So even if you don't mention `archive' anywhere in your init files, it might still be there. >>>> Edit your .gnus to make >>>> gnus-message-archive-method nil;=20 >>> >>> I've got it set to (nnfolder ""). >> >> Hm.

I think the best way to remove the superfluous archive server is to tell Gnus to use a different server, instead. For example: (setq gnus-message-archive-method (car gnus-secondary-select-methods)) Does that work? kai --=20 Symbol's function definition is void: signature
