That would be no problem for me, because I just want to do this kind of
splitting with my IMAP boxes. Because nnimap does not comply with the
properties for a 'primary-mail-backend' (option respool and function
*-get-new-mail) Gnus thinks, that nnfolder is my primary backend (used
for archives).

I think so too, but I can't find anything on
