You know, I can't remember. Possibly easier to configure or better with
IMAP? I really dont recall! But I listed it as a "heads up".

You can use gnus splitting if you like. I used to prefer that since its
all self contained in gnus then.
That said I recently decided that, the devil you know, just to use gmail
filters configured via their web UI. I apply labels to emails e.g
"emacs-gnus" and then see them as separate IMAP folders (eg I see an
IMAP folder called "emacs-gnus") courtesy of offlineimap.

Yup.
I did have local dovecot imap servers for a while, but I got confused
with multiple gmail account setup and so decided to keep it
simple. Also, the benefit of having local maildir is the wonderful
Mairix for indexing and searching!
