I have a .Mail and a .News. Under the former is nnml directories. Under the latter is score/adapt files and the agent directories.

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. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
