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?
