I've recently moved to Emacs 24 (GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1
(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2013-04-03 on dex, modified
by Debian, which ships Gnus v5.13.  It does seem like all I needed to do
was to replace the variables as you suggest, but somehow all my mail is
now landing in INBOX, whereas before upgrading it was going to the
respective groups as specified by `nnimap-split-fancy' (now
`nnmail-split-fancy).

I'm using a local IMAP dovecot server, which receives mail from various
sources collected by fetchmail:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
(setq gnus-select-method
	     '(nnimap "sluque"
		      (nnimap-address "my.dovecot.com")
		      (nnimap-stream ssl)))
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

and below is my `nnmail-split-fancy' rules:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
(require 'spam)
(setq spam-split-group "SPAM"
      spam-use-regex-headers t
      spam-use-bogofilter t
      nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnimap-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnimap-split-inbox '("INBOX")
      nnmail-mail-splitting-decodes t
      nnmail-split-fancy
      '(| (: spam-split 'spam-use-regex-headers)
	  (from ".*dovecot.*" "System")
	  (to ".*ecolog-l.*" "Ecolog-L")
	  (from ".*mammal-l.*" "Mammal-L")
	  (to ".*mammal-l.*" "Mammal-L")
	  (: spam-split)))
(spam-initialize)
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

It seems as though the rules are now never matching anythiing, so all my
mail ends up in the specified `nnimap-split-inbox'.  Has there been a
change in how these splits should be specified? Thanks.
