Did you try to copy the nnml group with C-y as i mentionned?

What about `j' in the summary buffer?  Then you enter the name of your
group - e.g. "nnml:mail.misc" - and toggle subscription with `u'.

In fact.  Your mails are still in the mail.misc group, you just need
to subscribe to this group again.

If you can't find it by jumping on it with `j', list killed groups
with `A k'.

Hope this help... (i feel guilty about the C-k hint, but i don't know
any other way to rearrange groups order)
