Hi Eraldo
I use gnus-home-directory set to ~/Dropbox and the News and Mail
directories were created relative to that path. I've just checked my
.emacs and .gnus files and there is nothing else there relating to the
home directory so it looks like that's all that's needed.
In fact if you check the info on that variable it says 'All other Gnus
file and directory variables are initialized from this variable.'
