I specify "(nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)" in the secondary
select method for the host I want to split, as in:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods 
        '((nnml "")
          ;; (nntp "localhost")
          (nnimap "work"
                  (nnimap-address "outlook.office365.com")
                  (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
                  (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)
                  (nnimap-stream ssl))))
#+end_src

and then specify nnmail-split-fancy much as you have done except that my
last entry is simply "general", i.e. has no matching specification.

Thanks for this reply, I've been unable to do anything about it until now.

This is what I currently have -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
; Email splitting rules:
 (setq nnmail-split-fancy
 '(|
  (: nnmail-split-fancy-with-parent) 
(any "help-bash@gnu.org" "help-bash")
(any "help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org" "help-gnu-emacs")
(any "emacs-orgmode@gnu.org" "org-mode")
(from "Inconsolation <comment-reply@wordpress.com>" "general")
(any "root@london" "system")
 (from "mailer" "mail.errors")
        ("X-Spam-Status" "Yes" "spam")
(any "" "general")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It is all working except I have not had any mail in to test the spam,
mail.errors, nor the mail listed in 'from'.

But I'm unsure of the very last rule (any "" "general") as I'm taking it from
your last email but am unsure of the syntax for it. 

Is it possible to change from "nnml:mail.misc" to just "mail.misc" or even
just "misc"?

How can I sort through mail already received using the 'split-fancy' rulesets
please?

Thanks
Sharon.

My split rule looks like this:

'(|
 ...
 (any "help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org" "help-gnu-emacs")
 ...
 "general"
)

i.e. the last one isn't a () form and doesn't have a regex etc.

No idea.

Maybe "B r" (gnus-summary-respool-article)?
