`B DEL' on the article doesn't work?

Could you be more specific, what doesn't work?

Only by having a IMAP mail-source, whereby all IMAP mail are splitted
into nnml folders.

There's no predefined function that split some IMAP-mail into nnml
folders and some into nnimap folders, sorry.

This looks wrong, it's usually nonsensical to have a IMAP mail-source
and a nnimap backend pointing at the same IMAP server.

If you want to use a IMAP mail-source, ie downloading all articles to
your local hard disk and deleting them on the server, you need a mail
backend to hold them, such as nnml. Also, having a nnimap server too
would serve little purpose.

OTOH if you want to remotely access IMAP mail with nnimap, you
shouldn't have a IMAP mail-source since it would remove all articles
from the server and store them locally in your nnml (or whatever)
backend.

I think this explains your first problem with your IMAP mailbox.
