how to work with nnfolder?

[Easior]

hi, all.

To archive the messages sent, I use

;; Tell gnus which method to use for archives (nnfolder)
(setq gnus-message-archive-method
           '(nnfolder "archive"
                 (nnfolder-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/archive/")
                 (nnfolder-active-file
"~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/archive/active")
                 (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
                 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))
;; Tell gnus into which group to store messages
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((if (message-news-p)
            "nnfolder+archive:sent.news"
            "nnfolder+archive:sent.mail")))

However, there is something weird happened. When I send a message by gnus,
I'll find that a file named 'mail' will be created in the directory
"~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/archive/sent/". In fact, it is not correct. Gnus
should create a file, e.g. named '1', in the directory
"~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/archive/sent/mail". If I
only use the following configuration

;; Tell gnus into which group to store messages
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((if (message-news-p)
            "nnml+POP:sent.news"
            "nnml+POP:sent.mail")))

everything is ok. What's happened?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Easior

What gave you that impression?

nnfolder stores each _group_ in a file, not each mail.

See:

 * http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_201.html

As you have observed, nnml stores each _mail_ in a separate file; as
described in:

 * http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_194.html

Looks like it works as advertised to me?

The mechanism of nnml made me such impression.

Thank you very much.

There is another problem. If I use 

;; Tell gnus which method to use for archives (nnfolder) 
(setq gnus-message-archive-method 
           '(nnfolder "archive" 
                 (nnfolder-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/archive") 
                 (nnfolder-active-file "~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/archive/active") 
                 ;; (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) 
                 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))) 

all buffers related to gnus will be read only. Why does it happen?
