Gnus also decide to override your settings for nnfolder-directory and
co with the following code in gnus-start.el
;; Make sure the archive server is available to all and sundry.
(when gnus-message-archive-method
(unless (assoc "archive" gnus-server-alist)
(push `("archive"
nnfolder
"archive"
(nnfolder-directory
,(nnheader-concat message-directory "archive"))
(nnfolder-active-file
,(nnheader-concat message-directory "archive/active"))
(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))
gnus-server-alist)))
I've been pulling my hair until i found the above piece of code. Don't
get me wrong, GNUS is still better than anyother alternative IMHO, but
it's more confusing than it needs to be.
