I think you want to change either this variable:
`gnus-home-directory'
All Gnus file and directory variables will be initialized from this
variable, which defaults to `~/'.
Or maybe these two:
`gnus-directory'
Most Gnus storage file and directory variables will be initialized
from this variable, which defaults to the `SAVEDIR' environment
variable, or `~/News/' if that variable isn't set.
Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the `~/.gnus.el' file is read.
This means that other directory variables that are initialized
from this variable won't be set properly if you set this variable
in `~/.gnus.el'. Set this variable in `.emacs' instead.
`message-directory'
Directory used by many mailey things. The default is `~/Mail/'.
All other mail file variables are derived from `message-directory'.
When searching for a variable controlling something, then it is often
useful to search with M-x apropos-value for the value in question.
