That might too be due to using a IMAP mail-source, it would remove all mail from the server to no splitting would occur. > Thanks for the hints.

Right, nnmail-derived backends such as nnml, nnfolder access local (modulo remote filesystems etc) spools. They use a "mail-source" to get mail into the local spool. Remote backends, such as nntp, nnweb, nnimap don't use mail sources since they access remote mail. > In this case how do I specify the nnml backend to hold the articles? With `gnus-secondary-select-methods'. Put the nnml backend in there and it will get it's mail from all your mail-sources. > I'll have to read mail from different places: at work, from the customers > location or from my laptop.

Just removing the IMAP mail-source configuration sound like it would be enough. If you got any nnml mailboxes, you should put a nnml server in `g-s-s-methods' too, btw. NB some nnimap-* stuff (nnimap-authenticator, nnimap-stream etc) are virtual server variables, and some are plain variables (nnimap-split-rules, nnimap-split-inbox etc) so each have to be defined appropriately.
