Subject: converting group from nnml to nnfolder
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2002 16:14:20 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bs8mg8or.fsf@shakti.homelinux.net> (raw)


I have a email group that I thought would benefit from being a
nnfolder rather than its current nnml backend.  So I typed G c and
changed its backend to nnfolder+private.

A new group was created in addition to the old nnml+private and new
articles are then shown in both the groups.  How do I delete the
nnml+private group completely from the face of the earth.

Moreover, when I enter the nnfolder+private: group with only one
message (say, via C-u SPC 1 RET) and then subsequently quit the group,
I get the following error.

/----

What is the cleanest way to migrate all articles in a group to a
different backend while retaining all marks and stuff.
