I have (partly) converted to IMAP a while ago.  I do the following:

(1) `G m' to create the new nnimap group.
(2) `G e' to edit the select method from (nnimap "") to "nnimap:".  (I
    think this happens automatically in the newest nnimap.)
(3) Use `B c' to copy all articles from nnml group to nnimap group.
(4) Check that articles arrived in nnimap group.
(5) Delete nnml group if check was successful.

It's quite a few keys to press but I didn't try to make it more automatic.
