I have one. It's looking like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnimap "work"
                SOME CONFIG OPTIONS
                (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
                (nnimap-split-methods 'nnimap-split-fancy)
                (nnimap-split-fancy
                 (| SOME FANCY RULES HERE
                  )
                 )
                )
        (nnimap "private"
                SOME CONFIG OPTIONS
                (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
                (nnimap-split-methods 'nnimap-split-fancy)
                (nnimap-split-fancy
                 (| SOME OTHER FANCY RULES HERE
                  )
                 )
                )
               )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The fancy split rules split into IMAP folders on the current server.

The is exactly what I have done.
