It is recommended that you keep all your mail groups (if any) on quite
low levels (e.g. 1 or 2).
Maybe the following description of the default behavior of Gnus helps to
understand what these levels are all about. By default, Gnus shows you
subscribed nonempty groups, but by hitting @kbd{L} you can have it show
empty subscribed groups and unsubscribed groups, too. Type @kbd{l} to
go back to showing nonempty subscribed groups again. Thus, unsubscribed
groups are hidden, in a way.
Zombie and killed groups are similar to unsubscribed groups in that they
are hidden by default. But they are different from subscribed and
unsubscribed groups in that Gnus doesn't ask the news server for
information (number of messages, number of unread messages) on zombie
and killed groups. Normally, you use @kbd{C-k} to kill the groups you
aren't interested in. If most groups are killed, Gnus is faster.
Why does Gnus distinguish between zombie and killed groups? Well, when
a new group arrives on the server, Gnus by default makes it a zombie
group. This means that you are normally not bothered with new groups,
but you can type @kbd{A z} to get a list of all new groups. Subscribe
the ones you like and kill the ones you don't want. (@kbd{A k} shows a
list of killed groups.)
If you want to play with the level variables, you should show some care.
Set them once, and don't touch them ever again. Better yet, don't touch
them at all unless you know exactly what you're doing.

@item a string
Messages will be saved in that group.
Note that you can include a select method in the group name, then the
message will not be stored in the select method given by
@code{gnus-message-archive-method}, but in the select method specified
by the group name, instead. Suppose @code{gnus-message-archive-method}
has the default value shown above. Then setting
@code{gnus-message-archive-group} to @code{"foo"} means that outgoing
messages are stored in @samp{nnfolder+archive:foo}, but if you use the
value @code{"nnml:foo"}, then outgoing messages will be stored in
@samp{nnml:foo}.
@item a list of strings
Messages will be saved in all those groups.
