What you look for is called respooling.

I've done it several times, one was from Rmail
to nnml, _I think_! ... then a couple of other
times in more creative/exotic ways, but it was
so long ago, and in all my Elisp there is not
a single trace of it... :(

You want respooling from nnmaildir to nnml,
i.e. from one mail spool to another!

I'm pretty sure it exists, but if it doesn't,
congrats, you have found a great spool I mean
spot to start writing a wonderful new algorithm
to Gnus, maybe the longest program ever
written :)

OK, final word: respool
