First create groups ...

Then make rules, e.g.

(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(
        ("mail.ml-ooa" 
"\\(To\\|Cc\\):.*\\(help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org\\|ding@gnus.org\\|emacs-w3m@namazu.org\\|emacs-devel@gnu.org\\|gmane-discuss@quimby.gnus.org\\|tex-live@tug.org\\|gnuplot-info@lists.sourceforge.net\\|emacs-orgmode@gnu.org\\|emacs-erc@gnu.org\\)")
        ("mail.ml-ooa" "List-Id: <linux-rpi-kernel.lists.infradead.org>")
        ("mail.ml-ooa" "List-Id: Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor 
<help-gnu-emacs.gnu.org>")
        ("mail.misc"   "")
      ))

Then test respool on a couple of article and see if they end
up in the right place(s), if not adjust. When it is cool,
respool the whole thing. Done and done :)
