Hello,
i try to use all your suggestions and reading material.
Now my related split config looks like this:
(nnimap "GMail"
                                              (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
                                              (nnimap-server-port "imaps")
                                              (nnimap-user 
"physiculus@googlemail.com")
                                              (nnimap-stream ssl)
                                              (nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
                                              (nnimap-split-methods 
'nnimap-split-fancy)
                                              (nnimap-split-fancy
      '(|
        ;;(: spam-split 'spam-use-regex-headers)
        (To "emacs-orgmode@gnu\\.org" "nnmaildir+Lokal:OrgDigest")
        (From ".*n3\\.nabble\\.com" "nnmaildir+Lokal:notmuch")
        (From ".*pinterest\\.com" "nnmaildir+Lokal:Pinterest")
        (Subject "^FRITZ!.*" "nnmaildir+Lokal:fritz")
        (From "forum@papyrus\\.de" "nnmaildir+Lokal:Papyrus")
        ;;(: spam-split)
        ("mail.misc")
        ))
                                              (get-new-mail t)
                                              (nnir-search-engine imap)
                                              )

A difference is now, that now i got an error message from gnus. That
looks promise! Unfortunately i dont know how i can fix it.

Error in ‘nnmail-split-methods’; using ‘bogus’ mail group:
(wrong-type-argument arrayp (| (To "emacs-orgmode@gnu\\.org"
"nnmaildir+Lokal:OrgDigest") (From ".*n3\\.nabble\\.com"
"nnmaildir+Lokal:notmuch") (From ".*pinterest\\.com"
"nnmaildir+Lokal:Pinterest") (Subject "^FRITZ!.*"
"nnmaildir+Lokal:fritz") (From "forum@papyrus\\.de"
"nnmaildir+Lokal:Papyrus") ("mail.misc")))

Any clues or infos about it?

Regards
Poul
