The IMAP server I use is about to change its DNS name in a
couple of hours. Is there anything I need to do in order to
keep my marks intact after the switch?
Anything else I need to keep in mind (besides updating
my gnus.el settings; in my case gnus-select-method,
nnmail-expiry-target and gnus-message-archive-group all use
the DNS name of my server).

If you don't have any bookmarks or group parameters stored in
.newsrc.eld, the easiest is probably to C-k the groups and
resubscribe to them on the new server.
But if you are careful, stopping emacs and doing a
s/oldname/newname/g in .gnus, .emacs, .newsrc.eld, ~/News/* should
fix it. Make sure oldname doesn't match something unrelated
though.

Thanks. I went with this and everything seems to be running
smoothly now. I had an .authinfo entry I needed to update as
well, but that was all.
