Hi Matthew,

Gnus also lets you respool old mail from the summary buffer according
to your nnmail-split-methods.

Make sure to debug the rules a bit first with
B t runs the command gnus-summary-respool-trace

Then you can use
B r runs the command gnus-summary-respool-article

See docs for these first with
C-h f (describe-function)

Hope this helps,

Adrian
