You need to create a foreign group with gnus-group-make-group.
  The group name : INBOX.linux-vscsi
          method : nnimap
         address : address.of.your.imap.server

My setup looks like:

(setq       nnimap-split-inbox "INBOX"	; A string or a list of strings that gives
					; the name(s) of IMAP mailboxes to split
					; from.  Defaults to nil, which means that
					; splitting is disabled!
      nnimap-split-rule
      '(("INBOX.linux-RedHat" "^\\(From\\|Reply-To\\|Cc\\|To\\): redhat-list.*@redhat\.com")
	("INBOX.linuxppc-embedded" "^\\(From\\|Cc\\|To\\): .*linuxppc-embedded@")
	("INBOX.ppcboot-users" "^\\(From\\|Cc\\|To\\): .*ppcboot-users")
	("INBOX.VxWorks" "^\\(From\\|Cc\\|To\\): .*vxw.*@.*lbl\.gov")
	("INBOX.openldap-announce" "^\\(From\\|Cc\\|To\\): .*openldap-announce@OpenLDAP\.org")
	))

If you have groups named like "nnimap+foo:INBOX.bar" and you want to
create a new group nnimap+foo:INBOX.quux, then IMHO it is best to type
"nnimap:foo" (not "nnimap+foo") when it asks for the method.

Otherwise it can happen that similarly-looking groups are actually
from different servers, or so Gnus thinks.
