1387Gnus provides a few functions to attempt to translate a @file{.newsrc}
1388file from one server to another. They all have one thing in
1389common---they take a looong time to run. You don't want to use these
1390functions more than absolutely necessary.

1394If you have access to both servers, Gnus can request the headers for all
1395the articles you have read and compare @code{Message-ID}s and map the
1396article numbers of the read articles and article marks. The @kbd{M-x
1397gnus-change-server} command will do this for all your native groups. It
1398will prompt for the method you want to move to.

1402You can also move individual groups with the @kbd{M-x
