You can just put nnml in your gnus-secondary-select-methods instead of nnfolder. You can then create new nnml groups (with "G m"). You can also use nndoc to access your old nnfolder groups. You can copy ("B c") the articles from the old groups to the new ones (one group at a time, of course). You can use the process marks feature ("#") to mark many articles to be copied with "B c". kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
