That's only for the nnmbox group, the nndoc groups seems to have files.

They appear to be in single files named "Incoming*" and not in an mbox
file.

I need them in an mbox file so that I can feed them to sp-learn.


Sometimes gnus is really awful --- if I can't do this without creating
unremovable groups and great fuss, perhaps it's time to use a different
MUA.  As much as I like gnus, it always has quirks like this which make
life extremely difficult, and I really don't have time for this.  You
can't even have more than one account without messing everything up
badly, and all sorts of deleted stuff remains forever :(
