With this setting in ~/.emacs 

(require 'message)
(setq
 gnus-startup-file "~/srcf/.newsrc"
 gnus-kill-files-directory "~/srcf/News"
 message-directory "~/srcf/Mail"
 gnus-directory "~/srcf/News"
 ;; mail-source-directory "~/srcf/Mail"
 )

message-auto-save-directory : Its value is "~/Mail/drafts/"
nnfolder-directory : Its value is "~/Mail/archive"
