Sorry, respooling in Gnus uses nnmail (which uses
`nnmail-split-methods' rather than 'nnimap-split-rules', for obvious
reasons) so respooling doesn't work right with nnimap's mail splitter.

To achieve respooling, mark your articles unread and move them to your
`nnimap-split-inbox' mailbox and nnimap will split them into the
correct mailbox when you press `g'.

I've placed this on the known bugs page (I think it used to be on it
but must've disappeared).

What does the call to `nnimap-request-accept-article' look like in
your *nnimap-debug* buffer?

Nnimap should probably try some sanity checks on the group name before
APPENDing, my guess it's passed with a empty mailbox name string.
