I have a .Mail and a .News. Under the former is nnml directories.
Under the latter is score/adapt files and the agent directories. Do
you keep all that in the same place now?

I would first do a straight copy and leave everything in ~/Mail. Run
gnus, make sure all is well. copy, don't move, the groups/files etc
from ~/.Mail that you want into ~/.email. Backup your .newsrc* and
.emacs and .gnus files and edit to reflect the change. Run gnus and
make sure all is well. then do the same for .news. If all is well,
rename ~/Mail to something else. If all is well after than, remove
~/Mail and you're all set.
