What I'd do is to replace every occurrence of "nnmh" in .newsrc.eld with "nnml" and use M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases RET to create the initial overview files. After that, "B c" and "B m" will do a good job of updating the overview files. Darren> 2) I use mailagent to save *all* my mail to folders. I Darren> never use nnmail-split and friends.

Check out the nnmail-use-procmail, nnmail-procmail-directory and nnmail-procmail-suffix variables. You tell your mailagent to write the articles to files in nnmail-procmail-directory, and nnmail-use-procmail tells Gnus to automatically read articles for the nnml:foo.bar group from the file foo.bar.SUFFIX in nnmail-procmail-directory (SUFFIX being the value of nnmail-procmail-suffix, as you've probably guessed). Been there, done that. Worked like a charm. But now I use nnmail-split and don't think it's slow at all (for 50 to 100 mails in the morning). kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
