Well, it has its advantages.  And I had all the mail locally before I
set up the IMAP server and wasn't keen on moving it all over.  It would
also require to have sufficient disc space on the IMAP server which
kinda is a waste.

Like the mail splitting becoming uncertain about where to put the
messages and being uncertain about where to put them when I move
messages from one folder to another manually.

I might be better off setting up gnus for a different user.  That would
really keep it separately :)
