Just out of curiosity, why do you not use `(nnimap-split-methods 
default)` which should do the same thing without the backtick.

Unfortunately the quoting isn't my problem as I have tried it. I think I 
am looking in the wrong place and my configuration here is not the issue 
at all. I have no idea, unfortunately, what the issue is. If this is 
supposed to work in Gnus, I think, it is getting all the server 
information from somehwere else. NOt sure where!
