As Kai said, using imap.el directly might be better. nnimap.el is a
hack but I like to believe that imap.el isn't as bad. I think nnimap
still alters some Gnus internal variables when you enter a group, for
instance.
OTOH using nnimap might make it easy to generalize the code for any
Gnus backend, which could be interesting.

imap.el's `imap-search' is rather powerful;
(imap-search "HEADER Message-Id \"mydirectory/myfile.txt\"")
should return all UID's for articles with that Subject.
