Howdy.

Is there a suggested way to migrate mbox format files under ~/Mail/
into gnus?  I have 61 "groups" in 14 (sub-)directories.

For example:

~/Mail/humour
~/Mail/people/bob
~/Mail/people/jane
~/Mail/work/project1/defects

into

nnfolder:humour
nnfolder:people.bob
nnfolder:people.jane
nnfolder:work.project1.defects

I tried to manually do one by creating a nndoc group and a nnfolder
group.  The doc group was the old mbox file.  I moved the messages and
tried to kill the nndoc group.  It sorta of went away... replaced by
group 'nil' ;)

This is way annoying.  Should I just leave them as nndoc groups?  Can
I split into them later?

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
cjr
