Never "manually" write to ~/Mail. Gnus gets angry if you do that. To create a "proper" folder, do this: G m foo.bar RET nnfolder: RET (the ":" is important) (now you have an empty group nnfolder:foo.bar) G f /path/to/old/mbox/file/outside/of/~/Mail RET (enter this group) M P a (mark all articles) B c nnfolder:foo.bar RET (copy them to new group) Repeat for all groups. -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
