Subject: converting archive group to different format without losing marks
Date: 28 Sep 2001 12:09:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3k7yjefma.fsf@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Dear Gnus Experts,
My current usage of Gnus is as follows:
(gnus-version) => "Gnus v5.8.8"
gnus-message-archive-group => "misc-mail"
Can you please tell me how to convert my old "nnfolder+archive:misc-mail"
group to use a better format, e.g., perhaps "nnml"? The more precise the
details, the better.
I would like to have all of my outgoing messages in a single group for
easy access, but the "nnfolder" backend puts them all in one file which
requires this file to be loaded into Emacs. As my outgoing mail archive
is huge, this uses a lot of memory unnecessarily.
I want to convert my old group into the new format without losing any
marks on articles in that group. So this rules out respooling the
articles into a new back end because that loses marks.
Do I have to write custom Emacs Lisp code to accomplish this?
