Sorry, I'm not making myself clear. To make things clear:

	* nnimal-split-method is not easily adaptable to nnimap
	* nnimap has it's own splitting mecanism

(What I was trying to say was that since I now read all mailing lists
via nnimap, I have no use for them in my nnfolders so I'll tell
nnmail-split-methods to junk all thoose messages. I still would get
all mail to nnimap since it has nothing to do with
nnmail-split-methods.)

No. I only copied my nnmail-split-method and renamed the variable to
nnimap-split-rule and it worked. You would of course have to change
your group names to suit your IMAP server (prepend "INBOX." to all
groups, basicly), and you can't use fancy splitting or functions in
the split rule. Yet.

I'm not sure if nnimap should use nnmail-split-methods, it feels very
wrong.
