How To Switch To Another IMAP Server?

[Jake Colman <colman@ppllc.com>]

My office has decided to replace our current IMAP Server, truman, with a new
IMAP Server, hamilton.  For the next few days, both servers will be available
to me but next week truman will be taken off-line.  The SA's have copied all
my mailboxes and folders from truman to hamilton and all new email will be
sent to hamilton.

So how do I tell gnus that I now want it to access hamilton instead of
truman?  What I have done in the meantime is to subscribe to new nnimap
mailboxes on hamilton giving them the same name as they had on truman.  This,
of course, gave me two entries for each mailbox, one on each server.  I have
killed (C-k) many of the truman copies of these mailboxes.

Questions:

1) Was there a better way to have done this?

2) Some of the truman mailboxes have ticked articles marked with an
   exclamation point.  How do I get the hamilton copies of the messages
   ticked the same way.

3) I still have references to the killed truman mailboxes in my .newsrc.eld.
   Is this a problem?

4) I currently have entries for both truman and hamilton in my
   gnus-secondary-select-methods.  When I start gnus, it logs on to both
   servers, prompting me for passwords for both.  Great!  If I remove truman,
   I crap out with a lisp error.  Before I delve into this and give you a
   better report, is there something obvious I missed that would cause a
   problem, perhaps one of the items mentioned above?

TIA!

...Jake
