This is the point of nnimap -- it is for managing and using nnimap
groups, not nnmail groups.

It is not possible with nnimap, but you can use mail-sources to get
what you want:

(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "your.host" ...)))

Huh.  I think there is a setting to prevent mail-sources from deleting
articles from the server.  That's what you want, I think.
