I see. I would stil use "nil" because it's less confusing, but sorry
for misleading you.

I looked at nnimap-split-articles in nnimap.el, and splitting is done
in nnimap-split-find-inbox using the value of nnimap-split-inbox,
whether that's a list or a single item (if a single item, it's
converted to a list). So just setting that to nil should do it!
It looks like setting the split rules to nil may also inhibit mail
splitting, but I don't understand why nnimap-split-inbox is not
respected. Try setting it to '() (an empty list):
(setq nnimap-split-inbox '())
and see if that helps. If not, try tracing through
nnimap-split-articles and see where it's getting "INBOX" from.
