There are several ways to do this:

In the *Group* buffer press `G c' on the appropriate group, move down to
the `Display' section, and set this to `all'.

In the summary buffer, press `/o' to insert all old articles in the
buffer. See Limiting in the Gnus manual.

To turn on this feature globally use gnus-parameters, eg:

;; turn on the display of all articles when entering mail groups using
;; the nnml backend
(setq gnus-parameters
      '(("^nnml:mail\\..*"
       ;;
       ;;        include other parameters here if needed.
       ;;
         (display . all))))

See Group Parameters in the Gnus manual for details.

The file ~/.newsrc.eld or ~/.newsrc-servername.eld contains this
infomation.
