The test email came from gmail. My server is for the vanity domain I'm
currently posting with

Gnus v5.13, in GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (Debian)

a snippet from my server settings:

        (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
        (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)
        (nnimap-unsplittable-articles
         '(%Deleted))

I wonder about that ^^^ last line, I don't actually recognise it.


A summary of my fancy-split (with lots of lines omitted)

(setq nnimap-split-fancy
      '(| 
        ("From" "googlealerts.*" "INBOX.google-alerts")
        (any "c[...]" "INBOX.tmp")
        ;; Invoke the BBDB
        (: (lambda ()
             (car (bbdb/gnus-split-method))))
        ;; Default mailbox
        ("INBOX" "")))
