Well, on this MS Windows XP pro installation this information seems to
be stored in the .newsrc.eld file. I've not found an active file.

Sounds like a lot of work with more than 250 mail dirs. ;-)
I solved the problem now by editing the .newsrc.eld file:
- 'C-u ESC-x shell-command-on-region ls ~/Mail/mail'
(to get listing of my email dirs into the .newsrc.eld file)
- now I wrote a keyboard macro to change the dirnames into group
entries, eg.:
adrian_otto
to
("nnml:mail.adrian_otto" 3 nil nil "nnml:")
- then I used apply-macro-to-region-lines to convert all lines with
dirnames
That did the trick for me. But I still wonder, if there is a simple
gnus command to do this.
Cheers,
Rudiger
