Splitting does not work across backends. Gnus iterates over all backends, finds one that reads mail. Then it fetches mail according to mail-sources and splits it according to nnmail-split-methods. Then when it comes to the second backend, there is nothing to split because all mail has gone. Theoretically, you could have two files and use per-server variables to set mail-sources to the first file and nnmail-split-methods to one value for the first server, and to set mail-sources to the second file and set nnmail-split-methods to another value for the second server. Then remains the question how to split the incoming mail into two files... This is not pretty. Kai
