You have chosen the wrong method. :-) What you have done is this:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers") ]
| `imap'
| Get mail from a IMAP server. If you don't want to use IMAP as
| intended, as a network mail reading protocol (ie with nnimap), for
| some reason or other, Gnus let you treat it similar to a POP
| server and fetches articles from a given IMAP mailbox. *Note
| IMAP::, for more information.
`----
But what you want is to configure IMAP as being explained here:
(info "(gnus)IMAP")
Just put your cursor next to the last bracket and then press C-x C-e.
This will directly take you to the info node in the Gnus manual.
Here is an example:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnimap "your.server"
(nnimap-address "your.server")
(nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo")
(nnimap-stream ssl) ;; Leave out if you don't use IMAPS
(nnimap-list-pattern "INBOX.*"))))
You can store User account and password in ~/.authinfo

Do you mean that you want to have a copy of your outgoing articles
stored on your IMAP server? Yes, this is also possible:
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
'(
(if (message-news-p)
"nnimap+your.server:INBOX.sent-news"
"nnimap+your.server:INBOX.sent-mail")))

Marcus
