Basically, right now, I = want to change which one is =E2=80=9Cprimary=E2=80=9D without losing any = data about the accounts or ticked articles or whatever. I=E2=80=99ve = also got some nnvirtual groups, which of course means that Gnus has = constructed and saved regular expressions to match group names that may = or may not include the server names. Is there a nice, user-friendly way I=E2=80=99m overlooking to swap the = =E2=80=9Cprimary=E2=80=9D and a secondary select method around, keeping = everything working (or even everything but the nnvirtual regexps), and = without losing any state? I=E2=80=99ve considered going through .newsrc.eld, editing group names, = changing where server specs are present, rewriting nnvirtual regular = expressions, figuring out how to update the .newsrc file, and so on, but = given that it=E2=80=99s a one-shot deal, much of the data exists on the = IMAP servers, and I have few gmane/gwene groups, I=E2=80=99m seriously = wondering if the easiest way might be to delete all the Gnus data and = start over, rebuild topics and virtual groups, etc. Ken=
