I use fancy splitting:

For the secondary select method, I have defined this server:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(nnimap "xxx"
 (nnimap-address "xxx")
 (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
 (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)
 (nnimap-stream ssl))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and then I have the following (elided for illustration):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq nnmail-split-fancy 
 '(| (from ".*sciencedirect.com" "contents")
     (to ".*clojure@googlegroups.com" "lists.clojure")
     ;; all the rest
     "general"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Note the specification of what split method to use in the server
definition.  There is a whole info section in the gnus manual on how to
set up fancy splitting.

HTH,
