Subject: Finding to which server a group belongs
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 08:54:56 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trcxpkcln56e.c60myrhttdj@rf3hum.6nejumj4f.live> (raw)

Aloha everyone,

I have a problem that puzzles me and I hope there is a simple
answer that I've overlooked.

Okay, I'm in a group summary buffer, say INBOX.  I poll
several IMAP servers.  I want to know from which server this
group was populated.

It's sometime possible to figure it out from the variable
gnus-summary-buffer, but not always; for instance
nnimap+fastmail:Archive is easy but INBOX is not, especially
as several servers provide INBOX with no further clues in the
name.

So how do I programmatically determine the 'parent' server of
the group?

Mahalo in advance for any ideas,
