I changed from mh to gnus many years ago.  Gnus has native support for
mh folders using the nnmh select method.  So, I kept using my mh
folders without conversion.  Eventually, I changed to a more efficient
format (nnml) and converted most of my folders.  But, this feature
greatly aided the migration.

Gnus is a very complicated beast.  It runs under emacs (or xemacs), so
you have to learn all that, too.  I don't recommend it unless you need
heavy-duty mail-handling and are willing to spend some time learning
to use it.  But, it'll do just about anything you want.  And, it's
great for high-traffic mailing lists like this one.  :-)
