I have been able to copy messages between different backends. Do not be surprised that some of them are not listed in the autocompletions; in my experience, those shown are usually the more recently used. If you just type the complete name of the group, gnus will either do the operation happily, or either ask you about the creation of a new group if you happened to mistype its name. Nevertheless, for the first try I would *copy* rather to move you mails just to be sure nothing is lost in the process. -- Alberto
