I mean instead of manipulating the email on the server, Gnus fetches the
emails and stores them locally in an nnml: spool. Just as you would do
with POP.

See the imap section here: http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_84.html#Mail-Sources

No, because it sounds like you use IMAP as IMAP.

You probably have an nnimap entry in your select methods (either the
primary or one of the secondary). I don't. I have imap entries in my
mail-sources.

Not that I can see, no.
