I have a little more than fifty different mail groups in my
nnmail-split-methods, most of which regularly receive mail.  I very
seldom (if ever) need to move a message into a different group.

I always thought that most people split their mail pretty heavily.  That
is the main reason I moved from GNUS/VM to just Gnus.

Thanks for the advice, though.
