Hi,
Is there a way of archiving an entire nnmail group to a single file? I
have several groups, each corresponding to a year of mail, which I would
like to archive. All the information I found relates to archiving
individual messages.
Cheers,
Loris

I didn't get any replies to this, so I'll rephrase the question:
If I have an email account which I am accessing via IMAP, what
approaches could I take using Gnus to archiving some of the mail
folders to disk?
Cheers,
Loris

Hi Loris,
Set the variable `gnus-prompt-before-saving' to t, mark all the articles
you want to save (say, by typing `M P b' in the Group buffer), then hit
an output key like `O r' (for rmail format) or `o' (for the default
format) and type the name of the file you want the mail to be saved in.
If you're archiving a lot of mail this can take a while.
See here for more details:

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charles
