Since Monday I have been using the following (in .emacs).

  (setq gnus-home-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus")
  (setq gnus-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus/News")
  (setq message-directory "~/Dropbox/gnus/Mail")

and so far everything seems to work. According to the documentation,
only the first should suffice, but not for me.
