I want something like this in my gnus-message-archive-group. I seem to
get something wrong concerning the caret in regexps however, since it
doesn't match my nnfolders as long as I include it. If I just use
"nnfolder:" instead it works, but it's not pretty. How do I escape that
caret so that it works?
(if (string-match "^nnfolder:" group)
group
"outgoing")

You shouldn't escape the caret -- I assume that your groups don't
actually include a literal caret.
What does string-match return when you insert the _full_ name of one
of your nnfolder groups, e.g.
(string-match "^nnfolder:" "nnfolder:foo.bar")

You need a pair of parens wrapped around that.

That was just a part of the whole thing. The whole should look like this:
(setq gnus-message-archive-group '((if (equal group "")
(if (message-news-p)
"outgoing"
"misc")
(if (string-match "nnfolder:" group)
group
"outgoing")
"outgoing")))

It returns 0, which I assume is what should happen.

But this will never return the group name -- unless `group' is the
empty string it will always return "outgoing",
(let ((group "nnfolder:foo.bar"))
(if (equal group "")
(if (message-news-p)
"outgoing"
"misc")
(if (string-match "nnfolder:" group)
group
"outgoing")
"outgoing"))
=> "outgoing"
You need to remove the last "outgoing".
