Really? I never got respooling to work with nnimap at all. I remember
looking into the internals a bit at the time, and seeing that respooling
for nnimap eventually just got cross-wired into respooling for nnmail.
That meant it only used nnmail-split-fancy, not nnimap-split-fancy,
which wasn't what I wanted because I still wanted to use
`bbdb/gnus-nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb'.

Without nnmail-split-fancy set to anything, respooling imap messages
just put them into the default folder: ie from INBOX to mail.misc, which
wasn't what I wanted at all.

That's good news, anyway!
