I also set gnus-home-directory in my emacs init file (to load the .gnus file from). In addition, I've used nnmail-message-id-cache-file to move the nnmail-cache file into ~/.Mail. So far so good. The variables gnus-directory and message-directory are described as: gnus-directory: Directory variable from which all other Gnus file variables are derived. message-directory: Directory from which all other mail file variables are derived. This does not seem to be entirely true as other variables have to be set as well to move all News/Mail related files to non-default directories. I am not 100% sure, but it seems as gnus-article-save-directory, gnus-kill-files-directory and gnus-cache-directory need to be set accordingly as well. The only variable which seemed to be automatically adjusted according to gnus-directory is gnus-agent-directory. Is this correct, am I missing a variable, fact, clue? I further wonder what the variable gnus-default-directory does (it's described as "the default directory for all Gnus buffers"). It's set to Nil by default. Does this variable do anything at all? This setup still leaves the .newsrc files in my home directory although I thought that gnus-home-directory would take care of that. I would really love to move the .newsrc files to some other place but did not yet figure out how to do this. Any ideas? This is with 5.8.8.
