Nnimap isn't a replacement for POP, it's a replacement for POP + a
nnmail backend. With nnimap you won't need the nnmail stuff.

Since splitting isn't done by Gnus, but by the backends you must tell
the nnimap backend about splitting just as you tell your nnmail
backends (nnml/nnfolder/etc) about it.

Copy things like

(setq nnmail-split-method '(rules..))

into

(setq nnimap-split-rule '(rules...))

and things should work.
