I currently have the following set in my .gnus

        (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
        (setenv "MAILHOST" "truman")
        (setq nnmail-spool-file "po:colman")
        (setq nnmail-pop-password-required t)

This is what allows me to get mail via POP from my Exchange Server, truman.  To
experiment with using IMAP4 instead of POP, I should be able to just add the
following in place of what I have:

        (setq gnus-select-method
                '((nnimap 
                        "yoyo"
                        (nnimap-server-address "robby.caltech.edu")
                        (nnimap-list-pattern  '("INBOX" "Mail/*" "alt.sex.*")))))

I know from the testing I've done already that I can access IMAP4 via the
server buffer.  My preference, of course, would be to do it this way instead.

Yes it does but it looks to be non-standard (surprise, surprise).  The docs
make it clear that rules can be server-based or client-based and warns you to
make sure that you specify the correct type.  I might play with server-based if
you can't get gnus splitting working but, given your (group) successes thus
far, I'm quite certain that I'll get what I'm looking for.
