However, I also read news off 2 foreign servers, and use nnml for mail groups. My questions are: 1. Can I not lose my Topics layout? Is it possible to retain newsgroups' names in their old Topics, albeit with wrong indices? 2. What should I do to shield my foreign and mail groups from the transitional chaos? I have some messages ticked in mailgroups, as well as *have to* keep indices on the foreign groups. I can only access the new server. I now set gnus-select-method back to "news1.on.sympatico.ca", so that Gnus reads old ".newsrc-news1.on.sympatico.ca.eld". What will happen if I renamed it into ".newsrc-my.new.server.eld"?
