I use Emacs 24.3 on Win32. Although I set nnfolder-directory to "~/.emacs.d/Mail/archive/", Emacs creates an empty ~/Mail/archive/ folder on every startup. Why does it do that?

`nnfolder-directory' got its default value from `message-directory'.
It's not clear whether you want to separate "archive" directory or you
don't want to have the whole "~/Mail" dir. If the latter, try
(setq message-directory "~/.emacs.d/Mail") in your .emacs.
I also wanted to write that you can check your "~/.newsrc.eld", but i've
just found that i have (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive") in
`gnus-server-alist' there (and i don't use this default value either).
So it's not the point i think.

I did. The archive/ folder is still created in ~/Mail...

I have the following in ~/.gnus, so apparently I had the same problem at
some point...
(setq gnus-update-message-archive-method t)
(setq gnus-message-archive-method
`(nnfolder "archive"
(nnfolder-directory ,(expand-file-name "archive" message-directory))
(nnfolder-active-file ,(expand-file-name "archive/active" message-directory))
(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
