Did you tried  to enter in nnfolder from the server  buffer (^ key while
in the group buffer) ?

As you defined  sent-mail as the archive method, it  should have added a
nnfolder:sent-mail server and you  could subscribe to you archive groups
with RET on the server followed by u on each group.

If  it can  help,  maybe you  can  look at  my  own configuration  files
 at http://sebastien.kirche.free.fr/emacs_stuff/en.html 

I just set up some things to  use mail and news archiving, except that I
defined an nnml group and unset the archive method as i had some trouble
with it. 

By  doing  that  i  have  now  an nnml:archives  server  and  an  unused
nnfolder:archive. Maybe i am wrong ?
