Create new nnml equivalents of old nnfolder groups.
Enter an nnfolder group.
If you care about the order in which the articles will be moved, then
re-sort it e.g. by date with `C-c C-s C-d'.
`M P a' to process-mark all articles.
`B m' to move the articles, selecting the equivalent nnml group.
Once you're sure that everything has moved as expected, arrange to
delete old nnfolder groups in *Group* with `G DEL'.
