I dont know how to set up gnus to read his current mbox but guess its
easy - then the "migration" will be to simply move from that group to
another group.
What I like, especially after Lars recent imap elispathon, is to use
local dovecot servers on all my machines. This stores using maildir but
provides an imap interface for gnus (and other mail readers including
mutt). IMAP sync using offlineimap then makes much more sense to me than
using fetchmail since its bidirectional and all things "sync" between my
gmail accounts and various machines with their own dovecot servers.
The benefit being each machine has its own email cache and search etc
are lightning fast.
