Switching backends isn't a problem, but how to perform the migration of already 'processed' mail? As nnfolder uses mbox format, I considered copying the nnfolder mbox file back to the spool file (/var/mail/sebyte) to effectively respool all my mail using the new nnml select method, but there's an issue over nnfolder-added headers, and this being gnus I've no doubt there's a much cleaner (and easier) way to go about this. Any help much appreciated. Sebastian
