You didn't mention if you keep the same server(s) (nntp, IMAP, ...).

Topics and groups are stored in ~/.newsrc.eld
(or~/.newsrc-yourserver.eld). You may copy the whole file or only
parts[1] of it to your new account. But you also need to migrate the
directories ~/News/ and ~/Mail (or at least parts of them).

Bye, Reiner.

[1] (setq gnus-topic-topology ...) But this is useless, if you don't
    have the groups (and servers) listed in this variable.
