Putting *both* `nnimap-inbox' and `nnimap-split-methods' in the
definition of the IMAP select method is *necessary* for fancy splitting
to work under Emacs 25.

Working example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    ;; Configure incoming mail.
    (setq gnus-select-method
          '(nnimap "mail"
                   (nnimap-address "mail")
                   (nnimap-server-port 993)
                   (nnimap-stream ssl)
                   (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
                   (nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
