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")))
