You need two servers, one for nnml and one for nnfolder. Possibly
like this:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnml "")
(nnfolder "" (nnfolder-directory "~/newMail/"))))
You may need more parameters for nnfolder, in addition to
nnfolder-directory. See the Gnus info file for details. Be
especially careful that nnml and nnfolder use different `active'
files!
Now there are two possibilities:
(1) For each group nnml:foo, you move all messages to nnfolder:foo, as
follows:
- Enter group nnml:foo, displaying all messages: C-u RET
- Mark all displayed messages: M P a
- Move all marked messages to the other group:
B m RET nnfolder:foo RET
(2) Set nnmail-split-methods such that all messages will end up in the
right folder, then run `B r' in each group. Specify `nnfolder' as
backend to use for splitting to.
