If I do respooling in a group via `B r' then it asks for a server and then puts the messages in the *mail.misc* group of _that_ server.

I am not sure I understand that explanation. My setting so far has been - My first method, via gnus-select-method is nnnil - then via gnus-secondary-select-methods I have specified my nnimap, and nntp servers But it seems also to work via - My first method, via gnus-select-method is nnnil - set the nnimap and nntp server, by entering the server buffer then use `a' and `e'.
