You mean the server variables? If they're specified correctly, and it
looks like they are apart from the quoting issue, they should all be
honored. Can you get non-fancy splitting working? Try the simplest case.

FWIW, my local imap settings look like:

(nnimap "EA"
        (nnimap-address "localhost")
        (nnimap-stream network)
        (nnimap-authenticator login)
        (nnimap-user "eric@ericabrahamsen.net"))

With passwords kept in the pass utility via ~/.authinfo.gpg. I don't do
client-side splitting, though.
