This is my config now:

(setq gnus-nntp-server nil)

(setq gnus-select-method
	  '(nnml ""))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "my.mail.server"
                (nnimap-server-port 143)
                (nnimap-address "my.mail.server")
				(nnimap-expunge-on-close never))))

(setq mail-sources
	  '((file :path "/my/spool/file")))

(setq nnmail-split-methods
	  '(("inbox" "")))

(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives
	  '("text/html" "text/richtext"))

(setq nnimap-split-inbox
	  '("inbox"))

(setq nnimap-split-methods
	  '(("imap" "")))

(setq nnimap-split-predicate
	  '("UNDELETED"))


I can subscribe to inbox but I cant get imap. Is this even the correct way
of doing things? Im not sure.

No, im not sure at all =). I want to run it as you have but have more mail
sources.
