If I was sure that the new server was exactly the same as the old
server, then I'd have tried to replace

    (nnimap "" (nnimap-address "truman"))

with

    (nnimap "" (nnimap-address "hamilton"))

in gnus-secondary-select-methods.

The tick marks should be saved on the server side.  Ick.  I think this
means that the SAs didn't copy everything.  Hm.  Not sure what to do
about this.

Is it in gnus-killed-list, or somewhere else?  Since gnus-killed-list
is for saving a list of killed groups, that's okay, I guess.

Can't imagine what might be wrong here.
